Maya destroyer (DDG-179) project 27DDG

The destroyer Maya (DDG-179) of the 27DDG project is the lead in the series of ships of the new Atago subclass, called 27DDG, which will be built by order of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. A new subclass of ships was announced in August 2015. The first two ships of the new class are expected to enter service in 2020 and 2021.
Ships of this class will specialize in air defense and will complement the anti-submarine destroyers of the 25DD project.
The 27DDG project is an improved version of the Atago project, within the framework of which two destroyers (Atago and Ashigara) were built between 2004 and 2008. Maya-class ships will differ from their predecessor in an increased hull and displacement, which will allow them to place enhanced weapons.
The destroyer Maya (DDG-179) was laid down on April 17, 2017 under number 2319 at the shipyard Japan Marine United Corporation in Yokohama. On July 30, 2018, launching took place. It is named after Mount May in Kobe and the heavy cruiser of the same name of the Japanese Navy during World War II. Its commissioning is expected in 2020. The cost of the ship is estimated at 1,5 billion US dollars.
Key Features: Standard displacement of 8200 tons, total 10500 tons. Length 169,9 meters, width 22,2 meters, draft 6,4 meters. Speed ​​30 knots.
The ship is equipped with the Aegis Baseline J7 combat system and the Northrop Grumman AN / SPQ-9B radar. The list of weapons includes SM-3 Block IIA and SM-6 missiles.
A new modification of destroyers with similar dimensions received a displacement of 8200 tons. They are equipped with the Aegis American combat control system with the latest version of the Baseline 9 / Ballistic Missile Defense 5.1 software and the Cooperative Engagement Capability data exchange system, which ships of the US and Australian Navy use today.
The Maya destroyer is armed with SM-3 Block IIA anti-aircraft missiles designed to intercept short- and medium-range ballistic missiles, as well as SM-6 anti-ballistic missiles, which can also be used to attack surface targets.

[For example]

Interestingly, the Japanese will be able to shoot down a Koreans missile at the next launch?

Three years to build!

SM-6 what kind of missile defense site? This is just an air defense missile, unlike the SM-3. Good, state-of-the-art, large and insanely expensive (5 lyam bucks) .... well, without AWACS it doesn’t greatly increase efficiency in comparison with SM-2.

[Stalllker]

Well, why is he ?! He will not help against S. Korea, against the Russian Federation it’s not worth talking at all. Anyway, all this missile defense is a dubious undertaking

Everything is logical there, they are held together by allied obligations with the USA, the USA, in turn, with Australia, South Korea and NATO, each of them contributes to the collective defense. The question on the contrary must be asked why the Russian Federation in this case is building its frigates and corvettes, if they are nothing against such a block of countries.

[5-9]

It’s just against S. Korea with their SMD-3 RSD and it’s suitable ... actually it’s only against them, RSD, SM-3 and it’s suitable .... taking into account the number of their missiles with nuclear warheads, and indeed, a thing useful for Nippon.

Even our soldiers, charged with slogans - "With little blood, on foreign territory", in the Great Patriotic War they recognized that "a German is a serious man and knows how to fight." Well, you can not treat the enemy with a devil-may-care attitude and a hat-shit. It never led to anything good. It is necessary to prepare for any war with all seriousness and responsibility.

Greetings. Stepan
I look. You understand my views better than me. By the way, what are they with me?
I don’t suffer from hats. I do not participate in the "red-white battles" on the forum and am not going to participate. For one simple reason - a hundred years after the civil war ended, history has put everything in its place long ago without us, it's time to live with today's realities.

Claimed $ 1,6 billion, this is most likely without taking into account design, i.e. net price?

That's right. And then, a feeling that somehow it will not be enough.

Quote: Warrior StillTot

How much do we have 22350, 22350M?

Who knows? The figure of 22350-450 million dollars goes for 500, but I strongly doubt its correctness. 22350M - it is impossible to imagine, since it is not yet clear what kind of ship it will be.

Quote: Warrior StillTot

How much will a Leader built with a nuclear power plant cost?

Taking into account the fact that Kirov cost about 3 nuclear submarines of project 971, it may well draw out by 3 billion But this, of course, is all "half-finger-ceiling"

[Lexus]

Meanwhile, not far from Japan, Russian sailors of the Pacific Fleet were crying under the stormy surge on the occasion of the Sea Launch Commander's arrival in Slavyanka Bay. Alas, I was right when in November I wrote that for the Pacific Ocean the submarines of the 636th project were already morally outdated. You then replied that "they speak well of them," but after 3 months you actually took your words back. Welcome back!

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Sorry, but I didn’t understand your logic at all. How is the commander and the Warsaw related?

[Lexus]

How is the commander and the Warsaw related?

Andrey, I also don't understand the logic of the state. There is no money for the development of new submarines, but there is money for the purchase of illiquid junk through a private company. There is nothing for Sea Launch to come to life, and is not expected. Except for stormy reports. I wanted to talk about the relationship between priority and real opportunities.

You can’t just compare the cost of building a ship with us and with them. The construction cost also includes the payroll, which we have much lower. Email cost energy and other materials is completely different.
But the indicator of the construction time of the ship can and should be compared.
A destroyer of 10 tons in 000 years along with tests. How much our corvette is being built will not even be reminded.

And what is Japanese in this vessel, except for the hull, engines and auxiliary systems (someone doubted that the Nihons could and could very well?)? In the price of the ship, 80 percent went to the United States ....

The Japanese are building an ocean fleet, ours-coastal.

[Snail N9]

ours is coastal.

"Ours" are building, in general, "FIG knows what" (if only to build something, to beat off the attendants, and moreover, "shock" (who likes it so much)), how are they going to cover the deployment of our submarine forces and "wiring" submarine fleet in the conditions of mine and ASW dangers, God only knows ...

[5-9]

The Japanese are building a defensive fleet: anti-missile, anti-aircraft and anti-submarine fleet .... for 1,6 lard in this boat only anti-missile and anti-aircraft function. With the anti-ship fleet, they do not have much at all. Those. 10 thousand tons, 1,6 lard of money - and protects only half of the threats ...

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

With the anti-ship fleet, they do not have much at all.

Why - not really? There are submarines, aviation is. What else does?

[5-9]

They have the American habit of scoring normal RCC, in a situation this device versus Type52 or 55 will be able to hurt him, but he will not.
And their submarines hunting torpedo NKs with torpedoes are interesting of course, but somehow suicidal. Aviation, especially basic, is aviation ... especially basic.
Those. They see the situation as "China is trying to isolate / block us, and we will protect shipping, which is vital for us." This is not a criticism of them (their position is reasonable), this is a clarification.

Type 52s can only hurt if they have external target designation, which they will have no one to give them off the coast of Japan. At the same time, the Yaps have had anti-ship missiles with a range of 150-200 km for a long time, and now they are sawing supersonic missiles with might and main. By the way, there are 8 Type 17 anti-ship missiles on May

Quote: 5-9

And their submarines, hunting for military NKs with torpedoes, are interesting of course, but somehow suicidal.

(shrugging shoulders) the British sharpened their fleet against the submarines and could not do anything to the Argentinean San Luis - in one case, they pursued her for a long time after she fired by torpedoes, but achieved nothing, although they drove 3 ships with helicopters. In the second case, they did not notice a torpedo attack. 1982, however.

Quote: 5-9

Aviation, especially basic, is aviation ... especially basic.
Those. They see the situation as "China is trying to isolate / block us, and we will protect shipping, which is vital for us"

Well, yes. Without aircraft carriers, you will hardly get out of the base aviation, so on the one hand they make their own "destroyer-helicopter carriers", and on the other, they are constantly improving air-based anti-ship missiles.
