Daegu (3,000t) and 30FF(5000t) aren't exactly direct counterparts to FFGX (7000t). All of these have been tailored to their operators requirements.ROK navy doesn't really demand long legs, and so we see similar sized ships carrying higher quantity of armament.JMSDF, even though demanding longer endurance as compared to RokN, required a GP frigate that was quite cost concious.The only way a multi national frigate program can be run is by allowing multiple packages of varying capabilities in a single platform. The FFgx as such could operate as a GP frigate for USN, a heavy frigate for JMSDF, and a light destroyer(KDDX) for RoKN, while running on equivalent base sensors, processing systems and adding/omitting others according to requirement.
