Well within the link you had provided it states as follows;


So basically it is another Vertical Launch Platform but a Vertical Launch System none the less since it fits the general description, unless you will not consider AEGIS on Shore a VLS just because it is not on a ship even though it utilizes the same Mk 41 VLS system.

Interesting find about the XSSM, if you look at the diagram within the article and compare it with the diagram I provided you'll see the one on the article is the latest version with two new entries.

One in the JASDF section about (X)ASM-3 and one in the JGSDF concerning the XSSM system which will be a ground launch variant of the (X)ASM-3.
Looking forward to the next jgsdf and jmsdf ssm based on the Xasm-3

This is a video of a Japanese carrier group in 1/350 scale.

The Japanese have now built four carriers. Two Hyuga class which displace about 20,000 tons and to Izumo class which displace about 30,000 tons each.

Although they are replacing four much smaller destroyers which could carry 3-4 AW helicopters and ASW warfare, these vessels are much larger and have large carries-like flat decks...and there can be no doubt when looking at them that they are carriers.

Though the Japanese have a direct ASW responsibility in the US - Japanese alliance, these carriers look perfectly capable of carrying F-35B 5th generation stealth strike fighters.
The Hyuga class (shown here) could carry a wing of twelve. The larger Izumo class (which there is no 1/350 scale model for yet) could carry as many as 24. They would be very powerful escort carriers for Japan and the US-Japanese alliance.

This group consists of the following:

1 Fujimi 1/350 scale Hyuga carrier
1 Atago class AEGIS destroyer, by Trumpeter in 1/350 scale
1 Arts Technique Akizuki class Destroyer in 1/350 scale
1 Trumpeter Takanami destroyer in 1/30 scale
1 Pit Road Soryu SSK in 1/350 scale conventional submarine

This is a very strong anti-submarine warfare grouping that could carry a large number of ASW helicopters and use the Soryu sub to good effect.

Also, should the JMSDF decide to go that way, they would also make an excellent escort carrier with F-35B 5th generation strike fighters. The Japanese air force is already buying a large number of F-35A aircraft.
See all of my various 1/350 scale groupings on youtube and the individual model builds on Fine Scale Modeling online magazine, Sino Defence forum, and feel free to share them with others.
 
not sure what you're attempting LOL I was responding to the fishy question Yesterday at 4:46 PM if this:

is a VLS


as for the rest of:

the bottom line is
#2941 SamuraiBlue, Yesterday at 4:23 PM
We will find out soon enough when we start seeing new escort ships without slanted missile tubes making them more stealthier or present ships like the JS Akizuki with their type 90 missile tubes removed.
isn't it?

...AEGIS on Shore a VLS just because it is not on a ship even though it utilizes the same Mk 41 VLS system.
.
AEGIS Ashore is a GREAT idea and system.

It is effectvie and extremely scalable.

With the US long range interspeectores, THAADS, AEGIS Ashore, and then the latest Patriot Systems, the US can have a very effective, in depth ABM system for any city or installation if it wants.

So can any ally who wants to invest in the same out side of the long range interceptors. I do not think those are for sale.

防衛費GDP比「1%」枠撤廃へ 自民、防衛大綱提言案
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!

:

自民党は25日、政府が年末に策定する新たな防衛大綱と中期防衛力整備計画(中期防)への提言をまとめた。対GDP(国内総生産)比で、ほぼ1%弱で推移してきた防衛費の枠撤廃を求めたほか、敵基地攻撃能力の整備や海上自衛隊の護衛艦「いずも」を念頭に事実上の空母化の検討を盛り込んだ。専守防衛からの方針転換につながりかねない内容だ。

提言では、北朝鮮や中国を念頭に「安全保障環境が戦後最大の危機的情勢を迎える」と位置づけた。5年前に策定した現在の大綱が掲げる「統合機動防衛力」に代わる新たな概念として、「多次元横断(クロスドメイン)防衛構想」を提唱。陸海空に加え、宇宙、サイバー分野も活用した防衛力の強化を訴えた。

防衛費については、北大西洋条約機構(NATO)が対GDP比2%を目標としていることに言及。安倍晋三首相が昨年3月に国会で「GDPの1%以内に防衛費を抑えるという考え方はない」とした答弁を後押しする形で、「1%枠」の撤廃を求めた。

また、海自護衛艦いずもの空母化を念頭に、「多用途運用母艦」の導入を提唱。垂直着艦ができる戦闘機「F35B」の取得を促した。敵のミサイル基地をたたく敵基地攻撃能力についても、「憲法上も国際法上も認められない先制攻撃と一線を画した概念」として、「巡航ミサイルをはじめ『敵基地反撃能力』の保有について検討を促進する」とした。提言は、来週にも党内で正式に機関決定し、首相に提出する
"On the 25th, the Liberal Democratic Party summarized the proposal for the new Defense Outline and the Medium-term Defense Capability Development Plan (medium term preventive) formulated by the government at the end of the year. In addition to seeking the elimination of the framework of defense expenditure that has been moving at nearly 1% as a percentage of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), in addition to improving the capability of attacking the enemy base and having the maritime SDF's escort ship "Izumo" in mind Including the study of aircraft carrier. It is a content that could lead to a policy change from exclusive defense.

In its recommendation, North Korea and China are considered as "the security environment will reach the greatest crisis situation after the war". As a new concept to replace the "Integrated Mobile Defense Force" proposed by the current National Charter formulated five years ago, "Cross Domain Cross Domain Defense Conception" is proposed. In addition to land, sea and sky, he also appealed to strengthen defense capabilities utilizing the space and cyber fields.

Regarding defense expenditure, mentioning that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) aims at 2% of GDP relative. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for the elimination of the "1% framework" in a form that boosted the answer that in March of last year the National Assembly said, "There is no way of thinking that the defense expenses should be held within 1% of GDP."

Also, with the maritime self-destructive warship's aircraft carrier in mind, we advocate the introduction of "multi-purpose operational mother ship". I urged the acquisition of a fighter "F35B" capable of vertical landing. As for the ability of attacking the enemy base to attack the enemy's missile base, as "a concept distinct from the pre-emptive attack that neither constitution nor international law is allowed", "considering possession of cruise missiles and possession of" enemy base counterattack ability " We will promote. " Proposals will be officially decided by the party within the party next week and submitted to the prime minister."

Recently,May 2018, Japan’s Maritime Self-Defense Force released the latest informational film, which showed Japan’s maritime military strength. Among them, more detailed photos of JS Kaga (DDH 184) amphibious assault ship are worthy of reference. (Source: Fighterman_Juli Aesthetic Research)
