The Yūshio class was a Japanese diesel-electric submarine class operated by the JMSDF. It was a second generation submarine, a development of the {{sclass|Uzushio|submarine|4}}, incorporating a teardrop hull, with a resulting increase in underwater performance on the Uzushio class. Ten were built under the fourth defense plan in 1975 fiscal year. All vessels were retired with the decommissioning of {{ship|JDS|Yukishio|SS-581|2}} on March 7, 2008, and the completion of the {{sclass|Harushio|submarine|4}}. JDS Akishio is on display at the JMSDF Kure Museum.
