[72] [73] Overall, the proposed JMSDF amphibious assault ship is substantially smaller than China's Type 075 vessels, South Korea's proposed LPH-II design, the U.S. Navy's Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, and Italian Navy's Trieste, and is more comparable to the Mistral-class amphibious assault ship of the French or the Egyptian navies.

The agency selected a completely new design of the vessel (30DX), replacing the Asagiri-class destroyers and Abukuma-class destroyer escorts. [4] [3] [7] [1] A total of 22 units was originally planned. Construction of the class began in 2019 - with a pair to be built each year.

JS Hatakaze (DDG-171/TV-3520) is a Hatakaze-class guided missile destroyer built for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). Hatakaze was the first vessel completed of her class, and she was the first JMSDF vessel to use gas turbine propulsion.
At this point, the Akizuki-class destroyer was under construction, making it the first Maritime Self-Defense Force escort ship to exceed the standard displacement of 2,000 tons. Ariake suffered a breakage accident of the main turbine blade during sea trials , and it was necessary to order parts from the United States, so the recommission was ...
This class was the first JMSDF surface combatant adopted shelter-deck design. Propulsion systems varied in each vessel because the JMSDF tried to find the best method in propulsion systems for future destroyer escorts (DEs).
The Isuzu-class destroyer escorts were four destroyer escorts (or frigates) built for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) in the early 1960s. The latter two (Kitakami and Ōi) were quite different from the earlier two vessels in their propulsion and weaponry, so sometimes they were classified as the "Kitakami class".
