Takanami translates to "high wave" in English. ==Design== The hull design is generally based on that of the ''[Murasame](/source/Murasame-class_destroyer_(1994))'' class. However, as a part of the weaponry was changed, the internal structure was also changed accordingly. The ''Murasame'' class had a large lattice mast, which was claimed to degrade its stealthiness, leading to plans for two small masts for the ''Takanami'' - however the plans were not implemented.{{Sfn|Kaijin-sha|2003|pp=76-81}} There was also no change made to the main engines, as there was little effect on the performance of the ship. == Construction and career == ''Takanami'' was authorized under the Medium-term Defense Buildup Plan of 1996, and was built by [IHI Marine United](/source/IHI_Corporation) shipyards in [Uraga, Kanagawa](/source/Uraga%2C_Kanagawa).
