One of the key feature of teh class is the high level of automation and small crew size. This is particularly important since Japan has the oldest population in teh world, reducing its manpower power pool, and the JSDF (as a whole) would have difficulty competing for manpower with the civilian sector. The PLAN would do well to emulate this. While not presently having the oldest population, China has the fastest aging population and will be older than Japan in a few decades. This consideration gets very little attention, but is becoming more and more critical as industrialized nations age.

The Mogami class is as the narrator states...a Frigate. Frigates have specific duties as the narrator states and are not usually thought of as Air Defense platforms. The other duty is to act as a "Scout" and to perform "Pickett Duty for the fleet.

Frigate's role depends per navy wherein some European frigates main role is anti-air warfare but on JMSDF's case, their frigates (former DEs) and most of destroyers (except the Akizuki class and Japanese AEGIS ships) were tasked for ASW duties.

You hit nail on the head. Too vulnerable to F35 equipped with Harpoons. However, those pesky North Korean subs has met their shinigami. Japan must protect their Aegis detroyers. North Korea will certainly use wolfpack type attack, have 5 or more subs because in the war, quantities do matter.

It depends: the Italian PPA, when properly equipped could be considered an equal or superior ship compared to the mogami due to a larger size and better armament, and yet it is considered an high sea patrol ship. On the other side of the spectrum, an Horizon class like the Forbin in France is considered to be a Frigate, despite being a large destroyer. Someone could argue that A FREM frigate is as large and capable as a Perry class destroyer, while a Zumwalt is still considered a destroyer despite its cruiser size and displacement. In the end, nobody knows what a frigate is today, transforming it in a sorto of trashcan category where everything not overly large can end, or not, without rules.

I think a suitable VLS load-out would be 8 ASROC and 32 quad-packed ESSM Block II SAMs. The 27 nm range of ESSM fits the X band AESA radar very well. As for the lack of a VSR, you mention CEC when in the company of the Aegis ships. But, in addition, I think that when the Mogamis are steaming independently on an area ASW patrol, they will use stealth and EMCON to disappear. They would use their panoramic EO/IRST as well as ESM to sense the environment. A powerful VSR hurts you in ASW. Submariners say it is easy to spot SPY-1 ships with the ESM receivers in their periscopes.

thats a beautiful ship. I gotta hand it to the Japanese when they make ships they are gorgeous. Just like the World War 2 ships they made.

It is good to see Japan going in the right direction.

Your discussion is generally correct, but you are a bit wrong about the most important mission of the Mogami type. Mogami's most important mission is not anti-submarine warfare, but mine clearance. You refer to the mine clearance capability as secondary, but you are wrong. This ship was built for mine warfare only. If it did not have the ability to clear mines, Japan would not need to build this ship. In a war with China over Taiwan, mine clearance is the most important element and at the same time the most dangerous mission for a ship. Why is Japan building these ships in large numbers? The answer is that mine clearance, no matter how advanced and careful the technology is, is a high-wear and tear operation, and it is impossible to fight through the world's toughest mine clearance war without a large number of ships. Why did Japan suddenly need extreme stealthiness of ships in Mogami? This is another reason for mine warfare. It is clear that China will use mines for A2AD in a Taiwan contingency, and mine clearance will be necessary even where China has air superiority. Similarly, mine laying must be done in areas where China has air superiority. Simply put, the USS Gargami must engage in mine warfare outside the air defenses of the Japanese and U.S. fleets. However, larger ships for greater air defense capability are detrimental to mine warfare, and for this reason stealth was required like never before. Certainly, anti-submarine warfare is extremely important, but the large amount of equipment for anti-submarine warfare is true for all ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the anti-submarine warfare equipment of the Mogami is average compared to other ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. None of the other ships, however, have a high mine clearance capability. (This is true of the main destroyers of any navy.) Among the ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy, mine clearance is something that almost only the Mogami can do. (This is true of the mainstay destroyers of any navy.) The IJN's fleet rarely ventures into mined waters because it is too dangerous for other, more expensive vessels to do so. The previous class of Mogami's vessels were also designed to clear mines. あなたの考察は概ね正しいが、もがみ型の最重要ミッションについて少し間違えている。 もがみの最重要任務は対潜水艦戦ではなく機雷除去です。あなたは機雷除去能力を副次的と言っているが、間違いです。この船は機雷戦のためだけに作られた船です。機雷除去能力がもしないのなら日本はこの船を作る必要がありません。 台湾をめぐる中国との戦争では機雷除去は最も重要な要素であり同時に最も船が危険にさらされる任務です。 なぜ日本がこの船を大量に建造するのか？その答えは機雷除去はどんなに技術を高めて気を付けても船の損耗が激しく、大量に船を準備しないと世界で最も過酷になる機雷除去戦を戦い抜くことは不可能だからです。 なぜ日本が突然もがみで極端に船のステルス性を必要としたのか？これも機雷戦が理由です。 台湾有事で中国はA2ADのために機雷を用いることは明らかであり、機雷除去は中国が航空優勢を取っている場所でも必要になります。また同様に機雷敷設も中国の航空優勢海域で行う必要があります。簡単に言えば日米艦隊の防空網の外でもがみ型は機雷戦を戦わなければならないのです。 しかし防空能力を高めるために船が大型化するのは機雷戦にとって不利であり、このような理由でステルス性がかつてないほど要求されました。 確かに対潜水艦戦は極めて重要ですが、対潜水艦戦用装備が多いことは日本海軍のすべての艦艇に言えることであり、もがみの対戦装備は日本海軍の他の艦艇と比べても平均的です。 しかし他のどの船も機雷除去能力は高くありません。（これはどこの海軍の主力駆逐艦にも言えることですが） 日本海軍の船では機雷除去はほとんど、もがみにしかできないことです。というよりも機雷除去戦は他の高価な船がやるにはあまりにも危険すぎるので機雷がある海域には艦隊は進出しないというのがより正しい言い方です。もがみの前級の艦艇も機雷除去のための船でした。

Great video, and the ship class looks beautiful.

It seems the Mogami class is a good coastal defense warship as long as it stays under land based air umbrella or supported by an Aegis destroyer. The 16 cell Mk41 magazine if quad loaded with the RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missiles along with its RIM-116 SeaRAM missile launcher would give it a fair self defense anti-air missile system. If the Japanese Type 03 Chu medium-range surface-to-air missiles can be quad packed I haven't heard. For midrange submarine attack the Type 07 anti-submarine missiles may be loaded in the Mk41 or the SH-60K and L Seahawk anti-submarine helicopters could be used along with land based air. When looking at an individual warship it should be viewed as part of a integrated fleet during actual combat. The Mogami class in its final configuration will be a capable component vessel in the Japanese naval force.

I think it is a more practical LCS rather than a true Frigate. ( if LCS ever has Anti-submarine modules and Mine countermeasures module, but hey, it never seems ganna happen)

@@logicbomb5511 It is essential to know that Mogami Classes are built for the Mine Warfare Force of Japan, not the Fleet Escort Force. It serves a role more like a corvette in European countries (this is one reason why those mk41 are not installed at the beginning). If you follow its development, in the beginning, it is basically a Japanese LCS (maximum speed is more than 40knot ). I know it is tough to classify a ship type these days, but Frigate is Second rate or third-rate ship for significant navy power (like us and china) or a First rate ship in European countries, Russia, and Australia. Those first-rate frigates are much more well-armed compared to 054a or FFGX, like 127mm gun for land support and very capable anti-air capability, etc.Because they need to fill the role of 052d and Arleigh Burke-class. FFGX, like 054a, is a modern Perry class type of ship, cheap and all-around to serve as a supporting role for the blue water navy. It is easy to see the difference in roles of FFGX compared to Mogami Classes on air radar, more long-range radar( like s-band) compared to x-band on Mogami Classes. Also important to know that, like the Korean navy, JMSDF needs to counter the North Korean threat( it may sound crazy to some people, but it is a real problem), and the Daegu class and Mogami Classes both have large mk45 guns rather than normally cheaper, and all-round OTO Melara for frigates is for that reason.

I think Mogami-class Frigate is perfect for its Purpose, we have to remember that all japan's adversaries China, Russia and North- Korea is very close to japan, Russia is within 300km, North-Korea around 500km and China about 500km( from okinawa) and thus Mogami will most of the time operate near japan will be under land based SAM's protection and thus do not required extensive Anti- air capabilities which is also due given their main role which will be ASW. I think Mogami is perfect to combat North Korea who has large(nearly 100) but obsolete submarines in the sea of japan where Anti- air and Anti- ship operations can be left to Land based SAM's and the air force. Also the mark 41 vls can quad pack ESSMs which it can carry 64 of them for air defense if required but the Air defense role will be left to destroyers and SAM or the newly proposed FFM class frigate with 32 vls. I think Mogami's strength lies in AWS capabilities along with advance autonomous sub systems and they are really easy to build which is important in war time.

As a convoy escort and general patrol vessel they will be fantastic. 16 cells are actually a good fitout for the operational system. I would expect 8 cells quad packed with self defence missiles and 8 asroc. the 32 missiles would be enough to defend against a assault on a convoy when working with an AEGIS destroyer.

Eastern and western allies can build about hundred frigates to patrol seas but need a great number of Destroyers to escort aircraft carriers, amphibious ships, oilers, container carriers and bulk carriers (3/400.000 tons each about) around the world.

Could be similar to the Dutch M-frigate replacement. An initial design for that had almost the exact same dimensions, and I think also a 16 cell Mk41 VLS. Since then the design was changed to be smaller, but that has now turned out to be too small. Given that the roles are similar it sort of makes sense for them to be about the same size(?)

It is gratifying to see the rebirth of the Japanese Bluewater fleet. I am sure people are paying attention and reconsidering their future plans.

So mogami is now just a frigate, I just hope it's the same size and as majestic as the first one

They ought to just put a C-band AESA radar on board, with GaN semiconductor technology, rather than a sole X-band. A single C-band is a good balance that is not terribly expensive to produce and power, suitable for the limited power generation of a small ship. The traditional outfit of having a dual S and X band combination is not really viable for second-line warships in the era of GaN or even GaA AESA systems, because it is expensive and power hungry, and sizable liquid cooling system will be required. So just have a single C-band - it's a much better compromise.

In addition to patrols and anti-submarine warfare, the Mogami class will be equipped with anti-ship missiles, RAM, SAM-4, and M2 heavy machine guns and will operate as a HUK/SAG advance force and possibly be incorporated into the CSG. The Kongo, Atago, and Maya class Aegis ships are mainly responsible for missile defense, while the Asahi, Akizuki, and Murasame class destroyers are supposed to protect the Aegis ships, but they may be incorporated to reduce the burden on the Asahi, Akizuki, and Murasame types.

I haven't been following the Mogami-class so am not aware of any hype, but from your video, I would agree with your assessment. They appear to be primarily designed for littoral warfare, given: the RHIBs, mine warfare capability, and torpedoes designed for shallow waters. The stealth hull also helps here. However, they should still be very capable additions to a blue water task force (TF), as: they can provide good air defence for themselves and act as an outer screen or picket for TF air defence (do you know if they are capable of CEC with the AEGIS-destroyers?); can contribute to surface action by way of 8 x SSMs; and ASW warfare through the helicopter and other weapons. Also, at around 5,500t they are large for traditional Frigates (although some modern Frigates are now around 8,000t but that's another story), which should allow them good range and sea keeping. A key point you highlight, that may influence high-end warfighting in a TF, is its limited weapons loadout.

@EurasiaNaval

I agree that hype is perhaps too strong of a word, but I would probably describe the prevailing narrative as uncritical. Basically there's several videos that just discuss their strengths, and seemingly treat them as multirole warships, or even only listing specs, without talking about their limitations (I'm looking at Dung Tran, just for example). One whether they have CEC with the JMSDF AEGIS destroyers, I cannot find info that it has, and I think the word I used is incorrect, because CEC is too specific. I was actually thinking if they can use targeting information provided by other assets to engage aircrafts with SAMs that have active radar guidance - these should require no target illumination. Thanks for asking about that. I agree their large size provides many advantages, which you listed. I would dare to suggest that it also provides more potential for upgrades, e.g. installing more VLS cells. Steel and hull are generally the cheapest part of any modern warship, so it makes sense to build new ships as large as you can power them, so as to future proof against the ease of modernisation later on.

@@EurasiaNaval I certainly wasn't suggesting they haven't been hyped up. That might well be true. Objective analysis is critical, and unfortunately not always found on KZread.

Good point you make about its size, which should allow for upgrades. Perhaps more VLS as you suggest as they do seem lightly equipped there. The old saying is, "steel is cheap and air is free".

Japan does have billion-dollar destroyers that can do everything. But they only 8 of them. Their own AEGIS destroyers. This “only” their frigate, afterall. Theyre “only” planning on 22 of them coz they already have 36 destroyers. Granted, most of them arent that well equipped in terms of the latest AA suites.

There are better ship designs more suited for blue-water, expeditionary operations such as the FDI or Type 31, however I think the Mogami is fine for Japan's situational environment. Japan's AEGIS vessels should be adequate enough in number to provide continuous radar coverage over the Sea of Japan, these Mogami vessels will likely not operate beyond the range of an AEGIS vessel. Those AEGIS vessels will secure the air, while the Mogami's will secure the sea - which is one vulnerability of AEGIS ships. Even when simply restricted to regional missions, I wonder if some better, differing design choices could have been made. Swapping out the OPY-2 radar it dons for say a cheaper NS50 - also perhaps would've been frugal. You could also cut out her torpedo launchers - if BAE systems pulls off their Kingfisher rounds, I do not really see ship-launched anti-submarine torpedoes staying around for much longer. Do both of that, you could get a modular mission bay similar to the Type 26 which would supplant her missile canisters, though in exchange you might also be able to get 16 VLS cells making up for that. Her SH-60 could be supplanted by say an AW101, which is just a better ASW aircraft. The AW101 is already in service with the JMSDF, and I would think her hangar would be large enough to accommodate the larger aircraft. SeaRAM is also a bit of an iffy choice - I think a Phalanx or 40mm gun would've been better, especially considering the vessel has no proper ballistic point defence weapons. I imagine as a result of her using a SeaRAM, she'll be rather vulnerable to drones and other low-cost threats. Doing that would make her a bit more vulnerable to missile saturation attacks, so how about in place of the ESSM/Chu-03 you procure some CAMMs - you could ditch target illuminators that way, and the CAMM otherwise should proffer better short-range interception capabilities.

The video producers do not understand why the Mogami class was built. Advanced air defence capabilities were not required from the design stage. Low-cost frigates with a minimum set of capabilities is what was required, and the military is happy with it. Why is that? Because the Mogami class is meant to replace the ships of the minesweeping fleet and missile boat squadrons. The Mogami class replaces ships that were originally incapable of anti-aircraft combat. Instead, it is just a reinforcement of the entire navy. The entire military will have a wider range of activities, and in terms of combat, it can join the line of fire and participate in anti-submarine, electronic warfare and anti-ship combat. There is nothing bad about it. If the IJN really pursues satisfactory performance, there is no other option but ships equipped with the Aegis system or new destroyers. That is an impossible order, both organisationally and budgetarily. Simply, the current Imperial Japanese Navy is looking for numbers rather than quality of ships.

Let's just compare this to all other frigates from major naval countries. Almost all of them have integrated organic medium-range air defense capabilities and VLS systems. For a mine sweeping and ASW ship, it is not very survivable and way too expensive to justify cost vs capability. It also can't do any anti-ship combat considering that it has barely any space for missiles. The Japanese should've built a cheaper corvette to do this job. PS this frigate costs as much as a Type54A frigate, which is exponentially more capable, and only half the cost of the FREMM frigate which too is exponentially more capable (like 1 vs 25 sorts of effectiveness for both).

@@dabo5078 The Mogami class frigates were selected because they have the minimum performance requirements for the Imperial Japanese Navy. There is no need for a lower cost frigate. If we did, you would be a much stronger critic. So that idea is also a clear mistake. Above all, the Imperial Japanese Navy does not envisage surface combat ships fighting each other alone. It needs to work together with aircraft and submarines. The reason why the Navy thinks it is a good idea is because, as I commented, the current wooden minesweepers and high-speed missile boats will be replaced by the Mogami class, which will improve the organisation's war potential. There are no advanced air defence systems or anti-ship missiles in wooden boats. You can understand the significance of replacing them with the Mogami class. In addition, the role of laying mines in the open sea will be added. Therefore, the Mogami class is not a main force, but an auxiliary one. It is only a reliable partner to the main destroyers.

@@s_n_gstein4027 FIrst of all why are you calling the JMSDF the IJA (which was destroyed and disbanded in WW2). Also the problem is that this frigate is not at all cheap in both construction and maintenance compared to corvettes or "wooden boats". You don't get more capability but you still pay extra. There is very little to justify the cost for such a minute increase in capibility.

@@dabo5078 The Navy has already explained why it is adopting the Mogami class. We have explained it twice? In the current naval situation, the minesweeping fleet is overstretched and missile boats are completely useless. The existing frigates, the Abukuma class, are obsolete. Replacing those ships with the Mogami class and applying their manpower will improve the overall strength of the fleet. That is what the Navy is about. To say the costs are not balanced is just your lack of understanding about the Navy.

The MCG is extremely limited IMO, especially when they’re preparing to build 22 of them, it’s a lot to manage, upkeep and staff for a minimal ASW ability. Any submariner knows the chances of this truly tracking them in a time of conflict is minimal at best. The integrated mast has limitations due to it’s size, you can only cram so much into that tight space. The 16 cell Mk-41 VLS is very limiting, should have been 32-48 and using a deeper and more capable VLS. The fact that is hot launch only totally takes away many of the advantages of the stealth and low RCS. The Type-17 SSM-2 anti-ship missiles offset many of the other drawbacks, even though it will only carry eight of them. The crew size is very limiting as well, makes many positions single threaded and provides minimal personnel for collateral and upkeep/repair duties. Though it’s a beautiful ship 😂.

@@ex0duzz I would rate this as a more flexible and capable platform than the Type-054a, though it’s more of a true combat support ship than a dedicated frigate like the 054 series. The MCG is much more sophisticated and has more room to grow in the future, for example, the Type-17 is scheduled to reach a range of 1,500km, which would be a tremendous strike capability. It’s a much more modern design than the 054a, that said, the Admiral Gorshkov class is much better than both of them, IMO.

Although she can just bring 16 MK-41 VLS cells, let's don't forget JMSDF can quadpack 4 ESSM missile into one cell MK 41 in their asahi and akizuki class destroyer, although report said that it will not carry ESSM. but it will carry type 03 medium range missile which i think they will make it quad packed in 1 cell of MK 41. we can assume that Mogami class can carry 32 type 03 medium range in 8 cells (4x8) and also still can carry 8 type 07 ASROC which mean they can carry more missile than 32 cells on type 054a frigate
