Natori (なとり) is a frigate of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF),[4] and the ninth ship of the Mogami class.[2][1][3] She is named after the Natori River, which flows through the cities of Natori and Sendai in the Miyagi Prefecture,[4][1] and the second ship to be named this way, after the Imperial Japanese Navy's Nagara-class cruiser Natori,[1] as well as the first in the JMSDF era.[4]

She was christened and launched on 24 June 2024[2][1] and is scheduled to be commissioned in 2025 after a period of fitting out and subsequent sea trials.[5]
