Well armed a FFG, so only 2 Asahi/25 DD coz also 2 new Atago variant/27DD in service 1st 2020 and they need more to maintain a Fleet of 49 helos carriers/DDG/DD/FF it means in average 1.5 new ship by year.
AEGIS like possible ? as the last DD classes ?

From the looks of it, those are representation of an individual that has nothing to do with the MoD, JMSDF or MHI.

all of this is really good stuff.
Those eight new DDGs are going to be nice and I am glad to finally see the specs. I hope they keep 24 VLS, but 16 will certainly work.
And, getting AEGIS ashore is a GOOD thing. You have very good terminal ABM defense with that combo...and terminal is really a misnomer because it extends over quite an area.
If Japan stationed four of those installations across from Korea, and then had it BMD capable ships available, they are going to be able to knock down pretty much anything the madman might launch at them.

Although not related directly to any military technology here are some links to recent R&D related to fuel cell and Li-Ion batteries that can be utilized to further advance subs.
First is Li-Ion batteries;
GS Yuasa is scheduled to be the main supplier of Li-Ion batteries for Soryu MkⅡsubs so these ultra Hi energy density batteries will be equipped on the MkⅡas well enhancing endurance distance.
Another is the latest development in Fuel Cell technology by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power;
In the link it talks about their latest large scale fuel cells for commercial facilities.
On page 7 you can see a 250kW fuel cell progression which at first occupied 140m^2 reduced to 40m^2 in 9 years.
In the future as shown in page 11 they are going to develop a 1.3MW class fuel cell. That is enough power to drive the Soryu class at 10~15kts.
Last is hydrogen storage;
This is not from Japan but has a great significance in fuel cell AIP.

With this you don't need the a cryo tank to store liquid hydrogen on subs.

stuff, so let me ask you

how old a link needs to be so that you considered its content, full of "could", "if", "would", to be boondoggle? LOL
twenty years perhaps?

Aughh, you need other parts to close the circle.
Just having a storage system is only a part of it.
You ALSO need a strong fuel cell that LASTS.
Do you understand what I am talking about?

well I basically asked if the ten years old link you posted was, or wasn't, a boondoggle
