 Both ships [[wikipedia:USS Heywood L. Edwards|USS Heywood L. Edwards (DD-663)]] & [[wikipedia:USS Richard P. Leary|USS Richard P. Leary (DD-664)]] were commissioned in early 1944 coming from the Boston Navy Yard and saw active combat during the war. After Japan's unconditional surrender, they were assigned to the Pacific Reserve Fleet until 10 March 1959, when they were handed over to the Japanese in accordance to the Japan-US Ship Loan Agreement.
+[[File:JDS Ariake (DD-183) - 1960s.jpg|thumb|JDS Ariake (DD-183) during a ceremony.]]
 They would arrive at the Yokosuka Port on 16 April and on the 20th took part in their flag award ceremony into the JMSDF. Being commissioned as Japanese, Edwards would be renamed as lead-ship ''Ariake (ありあけ)'' and Leary renamed to ''Yūgure (ゆうぐれ)'' with pennant numbers DD-183 & 184. Directly after their commission, they would undergo reconstruction, removing all torpedo launch tubes, a trainee auditorium with a capacity of 40 people was included, and a part of the fuel tank was converted into a freshwater tank. This would allow the ships to be efficiently tasked as training ships.
 Until 2 March 1970 they served their duty under the 2nd Training Corps which would be abolished, splitting the ships up leaving the Ariake to the Practical Experiment Corps where she would take part for hull and equipment experimentation whereas Yūgure would be tasked for mine warfare.
-In 1974 both ships were stricken from the naval registery due to aging, and were returned to the US Navy at Yokosuka. They were sold there and dismantled in 1976.
