I'm Japanese and love military, so I'll explain. One of the reasons Japan is developing railguns is to counter China's large stock of IRBMs and HGVs. The Ministry of Defense believes that "to intercept HGVs, it is important for the interceptor to also head to the rendezvous point at hypersonic speeds," and a railgun with a long range and the ability to shoot continuously is the perfect solution. Although it is not shown in the video, research is also being done on vehicle-mounted railguns, and they are being considered for the defense of air bases and ports. And as you may have noticed if you watch the video, Japan's railguns are smaller than those being researched in the United States and other countries. The caliber is about 40mm, which reduces the range and power, but it has succeeded in reducing the wear on the barrel and the power required. And this is enough for anti-aircraft use. Research is still ongoing, but practical application may not be that far away. I wrote this sentence using Google Translate, so I'm sorry if it's difficult to read.

Modern navies use multi-role vessels, and have layered defenses.

Musashi perished in a fight with fighter wings from 5 carriers. Real reason why battleships failed in WW2 was not that they were obsolete, but because fleet commanders either used their battleships incorrectly or acted indecisive trying to "spare them for the final battle", hiding in fjords or lagoons and doing other stuff.

Before crisis of first half of 20th century, there was system of what was known as Great Powers, that competed against each other but also held civilized world in ppolitical and military balance. Battleships were a product of naval arms race between those Great Powers. After WWII, Great Powers largely ceased being great and old system got replaced with system of "East bloc vs West bloc", which resulted in less independence for countries, changes to military doctrines etc. Only countries that could potentially produce a battleship were US and USSR, but former just kept their WWII battleship operational as long as cold war lasted, while latter just did not have the right know-how and deemed it to be too costly to be worth it. Nowadays, the status quo system is changing again and we might soon find ourselves in a world more similar than pre-WWI once again.

The Zumwalt class destroyer (DDG 1000) was specifically design for inclusion of railguns. However, there have been so many issues with railguns and other issues that the initial plan for 32 Zumwalt class ships was cut to just 3 before the program was cancelled. Of the three existing Zumwalt class ships, NONE are planned to actually have a railgun installed. In addition, the projectile cost estimate was of $100,000 EACH. If that's not bad enough, the plasma generated by abruptly discharging so much power eroded the 'barrel' too quickly to warrant its implementation. As neat as it sounds, railguns will rake far longer to become operational in field than, say, MEGAwatt class lasers.

From what I last read about railguns, specifically for the DDG1000 (USS Zumwalt) destroyer, they're not going anywhere soon.

Yet there have been so many issues that the initial order for ~32 Zumwalt class was cut to just three, and railguns are not anticipated for ANY of them. In addition, the projectiles have an estimated cost of $100,000 EACH, and the plasma generated by the railgun itself degrades the 'barrel' far too quickly to get any decent life out of it.

As I've understood it, USA abandoned the idea to have them on ships back in 2021, the primarly reason was because they shoot themselves apart from all the energy released.

The Self-Defense Force aims to launch the rail gun in 2028.Instead of the traditional gunpowder, the railgun has a power source and uses a high-output electric current to fire bullets at ultra-high speed, and is also called anelectromagnetic gun. Because it flies at extremely high speeds, it can handle hypersonic missiles exceeding Mach 5, which cannot be intercepted by machine guns, making it an effective means of protecting ships. It has the advantage of being able to fire in rapid succession at high speed, and unlike missiles, its bullets are small, making it difficult to be detected and intercepted by the enemy. The research prototype has a caliber of 40 millimeters, a bullet mass of approximately 320 grams, and an initial velocity of Mach 6.75. ``The enemy country's missiles are at Mach 10, making it impossible for them to pursue them.Light travels in a straight line, so it is not suitable for long distancesAdditionally, the U.S. government has already allocated a budget of $500 million to railgun development, but many challenges remain. A railgun requires 25 megawatts of electricity, which is equivalent to the annual power consumption of approximately 7,000 Japanese households, and only the U.S. military's most advanced stealth destroyers, such as the Zumwalt class, can handle this. It would be impossible to fire 10 shots in one minute without overcoming damage to the gun barrel due to the high heat generated by the railgun. Given the above issues, it is unclear what will happen 20 years from now. 自衛隊は２０２８年を目処にレールガンは、従来の火砲発射火薬の代わりに、電源を持ち、高出力の電流を流して超高速で弾丸を撃ち出す仕組みで、電磁砲とも呼ばれる。超高速で飛ぶため、機関砲では迎撃できないようなマッハ５を超す極超音速ミサイルにも対応でき艦艇を守るための有効手段としています。高速で連射が行え、ミサイルと異なり弾丸が小さいため相手から探知・迎撃されにくいという長所。研究試作品の概要は口径４０ミリメートル、弾丸質量は約３２０グラムで弾丸初速はマッハ６・７５という。「相手国はミサイルはマッハ１０で追撃が不可能です。光は直進性があり、遠距離には向かない。また、電力米政府は既に５億ドルの予算をレールガン開発に投入しているが、課題は山積してます。レールガンは日本の家庭約７０００世帯の年間使用電力に当たる２５メガワットの電力が必要とされ、これに対応できるのは、米軍内でも最新鋭ズムワルト級ステルス駆逐艦などに限定されます。レールガンが発する高熱による砲身の損傷を克服しなければ１分間で１０発の速射も不可能です。以上の課題があり、２０年後かは不明です。
