The name means misty moon. Oboro was a Fubuki-class destroyer built at Sasebo. She was laid down on 29 November 1929, launched on 8 November 1930 and commissioned on 31 October 1931. From 1937 she covered landings at Shanghai and Hangzhou and then patrolled the south China coast and took part in the move into French Indochina.
At Pearl Harbor she was assigned to Carrier Division 5 and sailed from the Bonin Islands to cover the Guam landing. She was based at Kwajalein from mid-December to April 1942, then at Yokosuka, patrolling and escorting convoys to Ominato and Mako.
On 11 October 1942 she left Yokosuka with a resupply convoy for Kiska. On 17 October USAAF B-26 Marauders attacked her 30 nautical miles northeast of Kiska. A direct bomb hit among the munitions she was carrying blew her up. Seventeen men survived, including her captain, Lieutenant Commander Hiroo Yamana. Hatsuharu rescued them and was herself heavily damaged in the same attack. Oboro was struck from the Navy List on 15 November 1942.
