Nagara (ながら) is a frigate of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF), and the tenth ship of the Mogami class. She is named after the Nagara River,[2][3] becoming the second ship to bear this name, after the Imperial Japanese Navy's Nagara-class cruiser Nagara, as well as the first in the JMSDF era.[1]
