Alfter the 15000-16000-ton ASEV, now there are discussions in the official capacity for the JMSDF to procure nuclear-powered submarines.

The ROKN does echo similar proposals for a few years by now.

Japan and China both launched satellites in 1970. A representation of the relative technological power in that era.

China launched Han class in 1974. Japan is still waiting. A representation of the relative technological power in this era.

They're just not going to be able to compete with both slower rate of improvement and being 50 years late.

The contracts to begin the construction of the two ASEV warships have been signed, with the two warships expected to enter service with the JMSDF in 2027 and 2028, respectively. That's around 3 years of construction, fitting out and sea trials.
