HA ... i forget the Chinese medias/forums generally called JMSDF's “Anti Submarine Destroyer” (DDK), “All Purpose Destroyer” (DDA), “Destroyer Escort” (DE) as “护卫舰/Frigate” ... so i just can't get used to their true name called by Japanese ... LOL !

We using different terminology of navy warships.

I could remember the names of PLAN ships, in fact, every JMSDF personnel must know their names. We had interesting names for your vessels. :)

:cry:Aha. But that would not determined by you.

I don't think it our arms build up necessarily means a war will happen.

All city names ... only trainning ship or weapon test ship using person names, landing ship using mountain names, ocean supply ship using lack/river names.

LOL! Imagine, we are supposed to remember the names of PLAN, ROKN, Russian, American , Taiwanese and North Korean ship classes. Such a drain! Chinese names are easy because its simple to remember -- Korean ship names are named after kings , or admirals, or famous men. Hahahaha.
 
Currently, we have 26 destroyers , 11 light destroyers, 6 destroyer escorts, some 16 attack submarines, 30 mine countermeasure vessels, various patrol vessels, numerous "training vessels" (which are actually light destroyers), our auxiliary fleet. Currently we are building 2 more Atago Class AEGIS Destroyers , and preparing to build 4 more Akizuki Class Destroyers.

By 2020, our Destroyer Force should be at 32, supported by 11 light destroyers and 6 destroyer escorts. We are currently building 6 more Soryu Class Subs, so our total Attack Sub Force will be up to 22 by 2020-2025. :)

We will also have 6 Light Aircraft Carriers. :)



That is right, the picture in the first post is actually the JS Myoko , of the Kongo Class Destroyer of JMSDF. Its being upgraded with SM3 Block IIas, as all ships of the Kongo class are being upgraded with those.
Great !
6 Aircraft carriers
26 destroyers and 11 frigates :o:
JN is a beast :p:

I guess we should all say our goodbyes now :cry:
:lol:

For what? We can survive for sure.
Focus on building ur ships, developing ur hi-techs ... it's the only way to protect ourselves & keep away from the war.
 
好难吧,我们连自己的文化都不懂。。。

Abandon outdated Confucius, study more Science ! Kid ... new modern warship & jet need hi-techs.
