Very interesting
Basically I can see JMSDF having the capability of a Marine Expeditionary Force lead by the Izumo
If they build 26DDH then I would call it a Carrier Strike Group
So far JMSDF in the next few years will have two very capable equivalents of a Amphibous assault task force with V-22 they have a great ability to land and retake islands in and around Japan
It would look like the following
1 x Izumo Class
1 x Hyuga Class
1-2 x Osumi Class
2-4 of the AEGIS DDG, Akizuki Class, Murasame Class
1 x Replenishment tanker
And a SSK
That's 8-10 world class warships right there
