JMSDF has 11 x Oyashio class with one converted into training

Now planned more Soryu class

Do they plan on replacing any of the Oyashio class with the Soryu or are these a parallel build ?

Otherwise they will have in excess of 20 x SSK

JMSDF had already announced plans that they will build up a fleet of 22 boats. The Oyashio class will go into a mid life extension plan in the next decade, I believe.
