My eyes are deceiving me or it realy LOOKS like 32 VLS cells (instead of 16 - a number mentioned a lot earlier) had been installed aboard new JS Asahi? Watch closely in HD from 3:45 mark on below video. It comes from the first (???) trial run of the vessel which should be delivered to JMSDF in March next year.

I know certain so called Senior Members don't do this, but this is how they are

And a zoom on the new DD Asahi almost no difference with Akizuki except mainly the superstructure above the hangar for host 2 AESA radars on 4 and a little difference ion the frontal island for some radars.

Well, with the current plans, the JMSDF is going to have the following number of very decent, modern DDGs

9 x Murasami
5 x Takanami
4 x Akizuki
2 x Asahi
4 x Kongo
4 x Atago

In my opinion, the Kongo, Atago, and Akizuki are all either AEGIS or AEGIS-like vessels...making a total of 12.

The JMSDF is not as large as the PLA now, or in the future...but they are very ship shape and capable, and allied with the US, Australia, and Koreans, they make for a very powerful offset to the rising PLAN force.

If you take the AEGIS capability those four navies have in the Pacific, you end up with something like 50 AEGIS DDGs, plus however many AEGIS cruisers the US Navy keeps in the Pacific.

That's 28 very decent DDGs. They will also be building new, more modern FFG sized vessels soon.

On top of that, with the 4 x Hyuga and Izumo and the 3 x Osumi, they have a decent flattop fleet for ASW and Air Assault, and then of course the ultimate 13 x Soryu and 9 x Oyashio subs (that's 22 large SSks that are very capable vessels).

You add the Korean and Australian SSKs, and then the US Navy SSNs, and this underwater threat is perhaps the most dangerous threat the PLAN faces.
