Well this is something :
"
CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa — For the first time, Japan has defended U.S. military aircraft under security legislation passed in 2016 allowing its Self-Defense Forces to aid American military units.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe confirmed the mission this week during a policy speech before the Diet, but did not provide further details.
“With tensions growing over North Korea, the Self-Defense Forces carried out a mission to protect U.S. vessels and aircraft for the first time,” Abe said on Monday. “An alliance gets stronger if the partners can help each other. The Japan-U.S. alliance has without a doubt become stronger than ever.”

The comments were the first confirmation of a cooperative U.S.-Japan air mission. Last spring, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopter carrier JS Izumo escorted the USNS Richard E. Byrd off Chiba Prefecture to resupply an unnamed warship that was helping defend against North Korean missiles.
Japanese officials remained tight-lipped about the air operation. Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasutoshi Nishimura would not provide details while speaking to reporters on Monday. Spokesmen for the Defense Ministry and Japan Air Self-Defense Force also declined to provide details.

U.S. Forces Japan did not reply to requests seeking comment Tuesday afternoon.
Japan’s national Diet passed the controversial security laws in September 2015 allowing Japanese forces to defend close allies if under attack. The legislation went into effect in March 2016 despite opposition from most Japanese citizens.
Prior to that, Japanese forces could not step in and defend U.S. troops unless Japan was also being attacked. The laws also make it easier for Japanese forces to deploy globally."
While I see the need for Japan to strengthen its Japan-US relationship, deploying military forces to defend foreign military assets seems to rub the wrong way as the the general idea would be that a country's military is to defend its own people first and foremost.
What's with Kyle Mizokami? I know he has an account on this web forum.
After reading his latest work published in Jan 2018, "Why Japan's Navy is the Best in Asia (And Not China)"
I realized it sound familiar. Then I found his work one year ago, from October 2016 "Sorry, China: Why the Japanese Navy is the Best in Asia"
Not that I think what he wrote is unreasonable, I just found the behavior a bit odd. The two articles have about 50% words that are the same

Good lord, she is a mean looking ship. so it looks like there will only be 2 of them? I like the rearrangement of the superstructure. I cannot wait to see 30DEX and 33DD! Frankly this or the KDX-2 seem like better options for the USN FFG(X) program than any European design.
I presume the 5000 ton's is the ship unloaded and unfueled and the 800-1000 ton is when its fully armed, crewed, and fueled?

it's arrived recently:
there're several more pictures inside 일본에 배치된 F-35A
Very nice looking ships! How come on these ships including the 25DD, that the radar panels have such a bulge? is it a sign that GaN panels take more space for heat dissipation?
