In its latest defense white paper, the Japanese Ministry of Defense has unveiled the latest image of the Aegis system equipped vessel (ASEV) with some explanations
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) plans to procure two ASEVs, which are alternatives to Japan’s now-defunct land-based Aegis Ashore ballistic missile defense (BMD) system. The first ASEV is scheduled to be commissioned by the end of March 2028, and the second by the end of March 2029. [...] The ASEV vessels will feature an impressive 128 Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells. This is more than the Maya-class destroyer’s 96 cells of Mk41 VLS (64 cells forward and 32 cells aft). [...]
According to the MoD, the size of the ASEV is 190 meters in length, 25 meters in width, and a standard displacement of 12,000 tons. In comparison, the JMSDF’s latest Aegis ship, the Maya-class, is 170 meters in length, 21 meters in width, and has a standard displacement of 8,200 tons. The ASEV is also 1.7 times larger than the U.S. Navy’s latest Aegis ship, the Arleigh Burke Flight III, in tons.
