A more accurate one:
Shirane Class : 2
Hatsuyuki Class: 8
Hatakaze Class: 2
Asagiri Class: 8
Kongo Class: 4
Atago Class: 2 (+ 2) = 4
Murasame Class: 9
Takanami Class: 5
Hyuga Class: 2
Osumi Class: 3
Izumo Class: 1 (+1) = 2
Abukuma Class: 6

Submarines:
- Harushio Class = 7
- Oyashio Class = 11
- Soryu Class = 8 (+8) = 16
+ support and auxiliary ships, + torpedo ships
55 + Destroyers, and about 34 subs.
Our goal is to maintain a Destroyer Fleet of about 60-65 warships.
@cnleio ,
Let's dance, bro...
Because land route costs money, its not economical. Sea route remains preferable for the indefinite future.
Anyways,
@cnleio , so basically, roughly, each Fleet in the JMSDF (we have 4) will have anywhere around 12-14 destroyers, have 1-2 light carriers (a mix of either Osumi-class, Hyuga Class, Izumo class), and anywhere between 8-9 submarines, + auxiliary and support ships, anti-mine ships, torpedo ships.
