This is what the Littoral Combat Ship should have looked like.

Well the JMSDF was interested and took a look at US Navy's LCS program developments since 2000s. If you want to know, 30DEX concept (predecessor of 30FFM) take a lot of similiar design and features of LCS. Today's 30FFM still have LCS' DNA but discarded all problems that LCS had, following the global frigate trend.

The LCS was dead as soon as they made it. US has no need for a littoral combat ship. They’re a blue water navy so having a ship specialise in an almost irrelevant field of battle as frigates can do the LCS role plus more.

​@@CC-ns2dsIt was down to cost more than anything else. And in a world of asymmetric warfare, a relatively cheap littoral ship makes sense.

Japanese make some beautiful ships

So that's what makes this special. Small crew

Just look at that 5 inch gun.... just look at it!

Australia might be getting some of these ships

Why can't we build something like this? Did you listen to program 2017 to funding 2018 to keel laying in 2019 to launch in 2020. Our Navy acquisition system is so broken.

VLS needed badly, bigger magazines for more weapons

They're using the names of light cruisers and cruiser classes of the old IJN 😮

2/3 of a Constellation Class frigate for 1/3 the cost...?

In an intense battle, yes they are vulnerable. Especially to the aerial threats since they only have the main gun, 11 rounds of SeaRAM, ECM and chaffs for AAW. So the JSDF is intend to modify all 8 Mogami frigates with upgraded radar systems and 16 cells of VLS(can be loaded with 4×SAM or 1×SUM each). And the 7th to the last 12th ships are going to be armed with VLSs when they commissions. So don’t worry about it:)👍

This ship is designed to supplement the US navy. It doesn't have the VLS size or the radar for air defense at all. Mainly a glorified sub hunter.
