As for the number of cells, I believe they are going to equip it with 32 cells VLS but will only arm it with 16 missile canisters.
Not as easily as you might imagine.missiles deployed on those islands can be taken out easily, they are not going to stop the PLA navy.
just like Sadam before the gulf war, Abe thinks he is safe, he may not realize that China can take him out anytime if it wants .

With air cover, at sea protection, and air defense systems, they would be a tougher nut to crack than you might imagine.
Also the change into the Akizuki design are funnels placed in the centerline axis of the ship which I assume was the effect of placing all the panels in the main superstructure (reducing the interference of hot fumes). It probably also caused that the front panels will be located lower than those in the aft part of the superstructure similar to Burke class.Looks like the moved all the PARS up to the main mast/bridge, instead of having the rear housing the aft facing radars. Other than that, it looks very similarly armed and laid out.
