I believe Japan should invite IN for a join exercise, we might bring INS Vikramaditya and INS Arihant too.He he , thank you for doing so. Btw, I would love to one day see JS Fuyuzuki training with Indian Navy's Rajput Class Destroyers.![]()

Yes, in a naval exercise, IN provides the required platforms to act as an aggressor for Japan to train against, mimicking Chinese navy.
Both the IN and JMSDF could hold this in the East China Sea or Sea of Japan. Healthy, peaceful, training...I believe Japan should invite IN for a join exercise, we might bring INS Vikramaditya and INS Arihant too.![]()
2014 Exercise Malabar was the first time our navies had a naval exercise together. I hope 2015 will see more of our ships working together.
Incorrect. Akizuki class role is escorting Izumo and Hyuuga class DDH. They are the mini version of Arleigh Burke Destroyer. While Zumwalt role is to fulfill the role of a cruiser. To attack the land. So don't compare Zumwalt with Akizuki. They are not apple to apple.If I remember it correctly, the Zumwalt-class was designed to play the role the WW2-era battleship had done from the end of WW2 to the last days of the 1991 Gulf War and that is naval fire support although I am not sure how effective the Zumwalt will be in this role if compared to the obsolete but somewhat "still effective" battleship guns in terms of naval offshore bombardment even though the US Navy have been testing railguns and scramjet munitions.
Maybe the JS Fuyuzuki has better missiles suitable for such purpose.
With the self-destruct tendency of Indian ships, very likely an exercise would really end with the "PLAN fleet" on the bottom of the seaYes, in a naval exercise, IN provides the required platforms to act as an aggressor for Japan to train against, mimicking Chinese navy.
Well someone made a comparison of the two ships, thus I have posted that above.Incorrect. Akizuki class role is escorting Izumo and Hyuuga class DDH. They are the mini version of Arleigh Burke Destroyer. While Zumwalt role is to fulfill the role of a cruiser. To attack the land. So don't compare Zumwalt with Akizuki. They are not apple to apple.
I think it is better to compare Akizuki with Chinese's 052D and FREMM. Because they have a comparable weight (6000 - 7000 tonnes), and (I think) they have the same role.
Imagine how a Kaijo Jieitai Combined Strike Fleet would look like. Centered on the 2 Izumo Class, the 2 Hyuga Class Light Carriers. And surrounding them the 4 Atago Class Guided Missile Destroyer, the 4 Kongo Class Guided Missile Destroyer, the 4 Akizuki Class Guided Missile Destroyer (+2), the 5 Takanami Class Guided Missile Destroyer, the 2 Hatakaze Class Guided Missile Destroyer, the 9 Murasame Class Guided Missile Destroyer, the 8 Asagiri Class Guided Missile Destroyer, the 12 Hatsuyuki Class Guided Missile Light Destroyer. In close support would be the 2 Shirane Class Destroyers, and the 2 Haruna Class Destroyers.Incorrect. Akizuki class role is escorting Izumo and Hyuuga class DDH. They are the mini version of Arleigh Burke Destroyer. While Zumwalt role is to fulfill the role of a cruiser. To attack the land. So don't compare Zumwalt with Akizuki. They are not apple to apple.
