The shape of that upper mast/antenna is so unfortunate... Poor ship floating around with an "adult novelty" stuck to the top of the bridge...
Hope that goes better than their Submarine bid. I still think a modified Soryu class (longer for more fuel tanks and batteries) would have been just about perfect for the Aussies and they'd have half a dozen of them delivered by now. Granted, it's a diesel/AIP boat not a nuclear boat. But at the time Oz was very anti-nuclear.Japan Considering Bid to Join Australia’s Frigate Project; Boost to Domestic Defense Industry Expected

When procurement starts. Asahi's were 25DD (2013), but construction didn't start until 2015
