The defense ministry requested 314 billion yen ( $2.2 billion ) to build three new multirole frigates, called “New FFM” in Tokyo .
Requesting construction costs for three New FFMs in one year is very unusual because the MoD has so far secured the budget only for either two Mogami -class FFMs or two New FFM every year.
With a standard displacement of 4,800 tons , the new class will be heavier and larger than the Mogami class.
The MoD requested $20.8 million to acquire a submarine-launched missile.
New “ Maritime Transport Units ” (provisional name) will be established at the JMSDF Kure Base as a joint army, naval and air force in March 2025 .
The number of members at the flotilla will be about 100 from the three services.
