USS Macomb (DD-458) - JDS Hatakaze (DD-182)

JDS Hatakaze (DD-182)

In July 1954, Macomb was placed in reserve. On 19 October she decommissioned and transferred to the Japanese Government, becoming JDS Hatakaze (DD-182) in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.

The former Macomb was returned to U.S. custody in 1969. She was then sold to the Republic of China on 6 August 1970, to replace the former Gleaves-class destroyer USS Rodman (DD-456) (which had been damaged after running aground) as ROCS Hsien Yang (DD-16). The former Macomb was decommissioned in 1972, struck in 1974, and was serving as a dockside training ship through 1978.
