Fast for 27DD, in a year.
More big than Atago i have 170 m and 10000 + t full, same weapons load, helos ; sensors, radars also ?
What shipyard ? Mitsubishi, Nagasaki maybe have do 5/6 Kongo/Atago but do also 1st 25 DD...

Any idea why the JMSDF didn't intercept the recent North Korean missile test with the BMD SM-3 from the Kongo DDG ?
2 more DDG with AEGIS would be great for JMSDF totalling 8

It's a Question of Trajectories and risk. The MSDF is likely tracking the launches and watching It's flight. If it looked like a Clear danger they would have likely done something. Otherwise let it be,

scary thought/question: once they realized Charlie aimed at, say,
what would be the time window? wild guess of the time of an incoming missile's flight: five minutes

Perfect opportunity for BMD test live
JMSDF is big in BMD
RN can learn a few lessons

Sounds good..
So they will start yard work next year and have the first commissioned our years later. The second a year after that.
Outstanding. These are going to basically be the JMSDF Flight III without the AMDR AN/SPY-6(v)
I believe that is the 1st 25DD project build.

JMSDF seriously needs more tankers
Like China their anti piracy missions showed a lack of tankers
But then JMSDF is focuses on regional deployments
In terms of DDG, FFG and SSK they have scores of warships
Plenty of "critical mass"

They have 5 replenishment ships (3x Towada class + 2x Mashuu class) formed in Replenishment at Sea Squadron so they aren't a part of any of the JMSDF Escort Flotillas and can be dispatched at any time according to needs. They're also homeported to the all of the 4 biggest naval bases in Japan (1x Mashuu class in Maizuru, 1x Towada class in Kure, 1x Towada class in Yokosuka and 2x Towada+Mashuu class in Sasebo). Add to that the replenishment capabilities of Hyuga and Izumo class and it's easy to say it's more than sufficient for now.
Those ships with the F-35 and V-22 Japan will effectively have 2x medium carriers, 2x small carriers, and 3x LHD/mini carriers.
