Asagiri Class Destroyer --- 8 Ships in this Class (DD 151, DD 152, DD153, DD154, DD155, DD156, DD157, DD158)


「はつゆき」型の改良型汎用護衛艦。「はつゆき」型は3000トンの船体に重武装を詰め込む余裕のない設計だったため、排水量を
3500トンに拡大し同様の兵装を施した。大型化したヘリ格納庫と2本のマストが外観上の大きな特徴だが、大きな平面を晒す
格納庫はステルス上不利で、また後部マストに設置された各種機器は後部煙突からの熱煙で損傷するなど、設計ミスを指摘する
声は多い。しかしながら、バランスのとれた性能を有し、あめ型・なみ型が就役した今もなお、護衛艦隊の基幹として活躍している
艦齢の高い1番艦と2番艦は練習艦に種別変更されていたが、護衛艦の増強により2011年3月に「やまぎり」が、2012年3月には
「あさぎり」が護衛艦に復帰した。



「設計ミス」「飛脚」などネガティブな評価が多いですが、尖った艦首や獲物を狙う獣を思わせる低いシルエットはとても美しいと
思います。とりわけ、左舷後方からの姿は海自でも１・２を争うほどの美しさだと思います！

I'd give you a positive ranking, but I can't. I'll tease you instead.

Ha ha ha, tease you did. And successful at it, too. She's a beautiful ship, is this the Stennis?

No, that's "Dubya" - Washington that is (CVN-73).

I'd like to see this with Mt. Fuji behind it one day:

It would be awesome!

Thanks buddy ! I'm also excited to see more of the Gerald Ford Class , those are in a league of its own.

How about this one?




This is the DDR "Revolution" concept for the second batch of Akizuki class destroyers. Rumors are that anywhere between 8-10 of these will be constructed for the JMSDF. This is JMSDF's answer to the Type 055, LOL!

PS. These babies will be equipped with Cruise Missiles. EHEM. EHEM....

The integrated radio system is latest building trend for next-gen air-defense DDG. How many tons of this "Revolution" Akizuki class destroyer ? and VLS units plan for it ?

At base, she will start at 5400 tonnes. Maximum payload will , as a deployed warship, she will be around 7k tonnes like the first batch of Akizukis.

Bro, we plan on maintaining a fleet of around 16 Akizukis (1st and 2nd batch).

From now till 2025; we will be adding:

1) 2 new Atagos AEGIS GMD
2) 8 new Akizukis (DDR Revolution)
3) 1 new Izumo class DDH 184
4) 3 new Soryu class (total of 10)


And also we will be producing a new LCS to be joint developed with the Americans.

Exciting times for JMSDF Combined Fleet!!!

Should be more Atagos better than Akizukis, although Atagos more expensive ... ... well China side is, now 6x 052C-class and 1x 052D-class served, a new 052D sea trial and Six 052Ds building in shipyards (satellite pics in 052D DDG thread of China Defence Forum) , these 8x 052Ds is 1st batch building project until to 2020. Both 052C/ 052D r 7,000 ton ships with 48x/ 64x VLS units, domestic type346 / type346A APARs.

055-class will be the biggest DDG built in China, all data i read is about 11,000~12,000 ton as a cruiser level with 112x VLS units (if news not lie) ... domestic APAR + Integrated radio wave system on it too.

As far as i knew currently China is following American "Arleigh Burke" development project, here 052C == smaller A.Burke-I, 052D == smaller A.Burke-II, 055 == future A.Burke-III


A.Burke-II & 052C/D

A.Burke-III & 055

And also we will be producing a new LCS to be joint developed with the Americans.

China built 2x triple-hulled vessels as Navy escort boat ... right now no any news for our LCS plan yet ... maybe focus on 052D and 055 building.

What an impressive building category , bro. And yes the Type 052D is something that I am fond of --- lol. The new Type 055 will be a league in her own, with impressive fire power. Definitely will make the PLAN even stronger than she already is.

They want to surround your country by two fleets, North and East

 

[Aepsilons]

They want to surround your country by two fleets, North and East

They have 3 major fleets: a) South Sea Fleet, b) East Sea Fleet, c) North Sea Fleet.

But in order to surround the Japanese Archipelago (over 6,900 islands) , one has to effectively address the Japanese Navy, which in its own right is composed of 4 Fleets: a) 1st Escort Fleet , b) 2nd Escort Fleet, c) 3rd Escort Fleet and d) 4th Escort Fleet. The JMSDF --- plans to maintain a Destroyer Fleet Size of 55 Destroyers, not including the light destroyers (frigates), heavy corvettes, submarines, carriers.

China has a growing naval force, one that is to be respected and studied. A direct confrontation between the two great navies of Asia -- the JMSDF and the PLAN would be a massive engagement, one that would ultimately bring the presence of the US Navy, specifically the US Pacific Command's 7th Fleet.

Japan will continue , now that we have removed limitations to our power projection (and will ultimately enact a more offensive power mandate) , there is little to any naval force that we consider a threat. Coupled with our alliance and equal partnership with the United States --- any threat to Japan throughout the globe will be handled accordingly.

It must be a hard nut to crack.

It must be a hard nut to crack.

he he he, no navy ever threatened Japan but the US Navy.

Remember that.
