The Japanese naval self-defense forces will soon be replenished with another destroyer with the Aegis air defense missile defense system. 30 July at the shipyard of the company Japan Marine United in Yokohama held a solemn ceremony of launching the first destroyer of the project 27DDG, reports "Warspot" with reference to the portal defensenews.com. The ship should enhance Japan’s ability to protect its territorial waters primarily from the DPRK and demonstrate naval power in East Asia and beyond.
The new ship is the first of two Project 27DDG destroyers ordered by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. These ships will specialize in air defense and will complement the project 25DD anti-submarine destroyers. New Maya destroyer will become the seventh ship of the Japanese fleetequipped with Aegis air defense system.
The 27DDG project is an upgraded version of the Atago project, in which, during the period from 2004 to 2008, two destroyers were built (Atago and Ashigara). From their predecessor, ships of the Maya type will differ in their increased hull and displacement, which will allow them to place reinforced weapons. The destroyer is equipped with an improved combined shipboard power plant CODLAG, which provides power to power-consuming radars and other ship systems.
The length of the Maya destroyer is 170 m, the displacement is 8200 m. The ship is equipped with the Aegis Baseline J7 combat system and, according to some sources, the Northrop Grumman AN / SPQ-9B radar, and according to other, the Lockheed Martin AN / SPY-1D radar. The list of weapons appear missiles SM-3 Block IIA and SM-6. Putting the destroyer into operation is scheduled for 2020 year.
