The Anano is a test platform for the Funryu 4 (‘Raging Dragon’) Ship Launched Antiaircraft Rocket and is based on the Ashida class design. The superfiring main gun turrets were removed from the Ashida design and replaced by the Raiun ('Thundercloud') launch system. 75mm and 25mm guns, 61cm torpedoes and all ASWs were also removed while a few additional 40mm mounts were added. 1 inch protective plates cover part of the deck and the superstructure near and around the launchers.
