This video covers the baseline Japanese Mogami-class frigate design and its influence on regional naval development. However, recent developments have led to a significantly evolved platform, the New FFM (also called FFM-AAW), co-developed by Japan and Australia.

Australia's variant of the New FFM features:

Larger dimensions (approx. 140m length, ~4,200 tons full load)

Advanced combat system integration (Aegis CMS)

32-cell Mk 41 Vertical Launch System (VLS)

Australian-built hulls starting in 2026 alongside Japanese production

Intended roles in air defense and multi-mission flexibility

This is distinct from the original Mogami-class baseline vessel. Australia’s Hunter-class destroyer program, based on the BAE Type 26, is a separate, larger, and more heavily armed platform with 48 Mk 41 VLS cells.
