Australia want to buy the Soryu. The Abe government seems to agree, but the Japanese Navy is reluctant to let the Australian to have the sub. Apparently, some of the technologies in the sub is decades ahead of anything that Australia can some up with, and the Japanese Military don't want to share the secret.

unless the sub can turn into a giant robot(or a high school girl),i don't think they are that much advanced. granted the RAN only have them faulty collin class SSK, but they could get less faulty ones from South Korea. cheaper and faster to build as well

Them saying that they wont gonna help Japan in the event of China Japan war that made japanese top brass to be reluctant to share strategic assets with them

iinm the talk on the engine and transmission was facilitated by the US as well but japan refused on ground they do not export any military related system 
I cant find the info again but japan instead offers on improving their (korea k2 mtu)build quality but korea just brush it off 

Merajuk kot
the trend now is to get a ldp as a command ship and accompanied by full fledged asw and aaw frigate

of course a destroyer would be good as well but again with tat price tag i would get more hulls to spam anti-ship than a single expensive hull

ask US to give their Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate, a destroyer in a frigate hull 

PHL submits maritime defense ‘wish list’ to Japan

by Rene Acosta - February 2, 2015 0 13

The military wanted Japan to chip in to its ongoing modernization by providing to the country assets and equipment that could be used in areas of humanitarian assistance and disaster response and maritime-domain awareness.

Defense Secretary Voltaire T. Gazmin admitted on Monday that he provided his Japanese counterpart a “military wish list” that could help the country stand up to the challenge of responding to calamities and natural disaster and increased patrol of its territorial waters.

However, the defense chief refused to disclose these types of assets, other than “everything that could address our maritime security.”

Earlier, the Navy wanted Japan to provide them with brand-new patrol boats, which it could be used in patrolling and securing the country’s territorial waters, especially in the West Philippine Sea where Chinese military and paramilitary vessels are a regular sight.

Gazmin was in Tokyo last week for the Japan-Philippines Defense Ministerial Meeting wherein he met with Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani.

Japan is currently locked in a territorial dispute with China over a portion of the East China Sea, while the Philippines is battling off an aggressive China over its territory in the West Philippine Sea.

During their meeting, Gazmin and Nakatani agreed that any dispute should be settled peacefully and without the use of force or coercion, in accordance with basic principles of international law.

They also reaffirmed the importance of the freedom of navigation and overflight in the high seas as they briefed each other on the situations in the East and South China Sea.

Gazmin welcomed Japan’s efforts in actively contributing to the peace and stability, not only in the region but around the world, in partnership with the international community.

Gazmin and Nakatani highlighted the progress of bilateral cooperation and exchanges between the two countries through the high-level exchanges, vice ministerial dialogue and Japan Self Defense Force’s contribution to the relief operations during Supertyphoon Yolanda.

Soryu have few advance ...
- 500 meter submerge for conventional submarine.....
- size 4200 tons
- new with AIP with lithium-ion batteries tech .... advance can submerge for long hrs in sea in high-speed。

get some Oliver Hazard Perry then you made an improvement like what the Turks did with their G-Class and voila you will have a basically dedicated ASW frigate, but their Gas turbine engine same with other US made vessels is not going easy to your Navy pocket though 

BTW Our LDP's especially  is been tasked as part of Kolinlamil (Komando Lintas Laut) roughly to be translated in English as Strategic Sealift units, but yeah sometimes they had been used in several occasion as Command Ship because their admiralty entourage facility.

german 214 is not far behind.. given it german, they will sell as long u have the money 

or if youre Israel , you could always play the guilt card and ask them fancy stuff for free...(and ask them to throw in a couple more stuff while youre at it)

shhhh... bangsa heaven tu...

literally ask german to sponsor their entire submarine fleet (dolphin-class), now want to get offshore patrol vessels well below market rate or possible sponsored again 
No wonder german reluctant untill they play the guilt card again

neh.. RMN will nvr go gas turbine again 
We didnt send an evaluation team but no news after tat, guess that the gas turbine was a turn off. Can be replace with diesal but given its limited useful age and cost, just not worth it

Don't know why there is a lot of bashing of Airbus & Eurocopter in MP.Net especially about Tiger helicopter & A400.

Anybody know what happen to our taming sari mlrs
No trace now??

German 214 too small, then they come out Type 216 4000 tons design than propose to OZ .... but it still just a paper spec .... however Soryu already use in Japan Self defense navy,  mature and proven. 

RMN navy no mater how they need/face to use gas turbine if buy big ship like over 6000 tons. unless they still keep small ship.
gas turbine can provide a lot more power to ship.
