Japan is currently designing a new generation of frigate-sized warships to replace the Abukuma class destroyer escorts. The new 3000-ton class ship is called the DEX. These escorts will be designed to provide special warfare and ASW support for larger capital ships.
The DEX is to replace the older Abukama class destroyer escorts
The JMSDF will also begin fielding an upgraded variant of the Akizuki class destroyer (25DD) from 2017. 25DD will equip an improved FCS-3A S/X-band multifunctional AESA radar and a COGLAG propulsion system.
@SvenSvensonov !!!!!!! You're back!
Yeah, I couldn't let such quality contributions go unrewarded:
Nordic Defense News, pictures, videos and history | Page 11 - 5 pages of awesome!
and another 5 pages here - US military news, discussions and history | Page 16
I can't ignore that kind of contribution.

As for why I left for a few weeks; Anna got unexpectedly deployed to fill a gap in an overseas base. Which means I'm all alone with the dogs for the next few months. Spent time seeing her off, spent the rest of my time away in Utah visiting my sister and helping her settle into a new apartment.
...
Been to Fredericksburg yet (it was in April right?)? If so how was it? It stinks right?
The JMSDF and USN are brothers, now and forever. Here's some cross-training pics;

Alright, I changed some of my profile options around, so a PM here should work... or you can try my email if you still have it.
Japanese soldiers in Djibouti
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Nihonjin1051 Besides the military deployment,the Djiboutians see positively Japan's actions,since even they have funded many projects in Djibouti just like this (as exemple)
-
This project in the amount of five hundred million yen, or € 4.15 million, aims to equip the CERD a power station using solar energy with a capacity of 300 kilowatts. This capacity could reach 400 kW, which represents a significant proportion of the production of electricity in Djibouti City.
The solar power plant with 1,140 panels spread over an area of 5200 square meters is the first solar power plant in the East African region.

We are planning to build 10 more Akizuki class destroyers for the JMSDF. She will be the largest , most powerful naval force in the Pacific.
Pentagon Notifies Congress of Potential $3 Billion V-22 Osprey Sale to Japan
Congress has received notification of a potential $3 billon sale of 17 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft and support equipment to Japan, according to a Tuesday announcement from the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
In its statement, DSCA (pronounced dis-kah) said the potential sale would expand the ability of the Japanese Self Defense Forces (JSDF) to operate more closely with the U.S. and extend the range of their ground forces.
“Japan is modernizing its transport fleet to better support its defense and special mission needs. The proposed sale of V-22B Block C Osprey aircraft will greatly enhance the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force’s humanitarian and disaster relief capabilities and support amphibious operations,” read the DSCA statement.
“This sale will promote burden sharing with our ally and interoperability with U.S. forces. Japan will have no difficulty absorbing these aircraft into its armed forces.”
The agency notified Congress of the possible sale on Tuesday.
