Asagumo (朝雲 Morning Cloud) was the fifth of ten Asashio-class destroyers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the mid-1930s under the Circle Two Supplementary Naval Expansion Program (Maru Ni Keikaku).

In October [1944], she was assigned to Vice Admiral Shōji Nishimura's fleet at the Battle of Surigao Strait, Asagumo was torpedoed by the destroyer USS McDermut and subsequently finished off by gunfire from US Navy cruisers and destroyers at position (10°04′N 125°21′ECoordinates: 10°04′N 125°21′E). Of her crew, 191 were killed, but 39 survivors, including her captain, Commander Shibayama, were taken prisoner by the Americans.[6] Asagumo was removed from the navy list on 10 January 1945. It was said that she rescued survivors of the battleship Fusō, which was torpedoed by the destroyer USS Melvin, threw off formation, blew up, broke into two, and sank afterwards, only for them to all go down with the ship when Asagumo sank.
