Not only to prepare for the battle against the water
It even has the ability to fight against lightning.
Latest equipment:
62 caliber 5 inch gun,
Vertical Launch System (VLS),
Anti-lightning sonar, etc.
I told you that there are many latest equipment.
Why China is wary:
China is wary of Japan’s rapid pace of equipment upgrades.
Japan has also launched “4” mogami-class “in one year.”
It is planned to build 22 ships in the future.
“Mikuma” is the latest FFM:
“Mikuma” is a multifunctional escort ship (FFM) and is deployed with a strong awareness of China.
That is the only situation in which Japan must be wary of China’s advance into the ocean.
