JS Haguro (DDG-180)

History

The Maya-class guided missile destroyer group was established by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) as an extension of the existing Atago-class destroyers, which are themselves upgraded Kongo-class ships. The new class consists of JS Maya (DDG-179) and JS Haguro (DDG-180). Both ships are built by JUM in Yokohama, which was laid on January 23, 2018, launched on July 17, 2019, and commissioned sometime in 2021 (main ship JS Maya commissioned in March 2020) .

According to the Maya class, the Haguro displaces 8,200 tons under standard load and up to 10,250 tons under full load. She has a barrel length of 557.4 feet, a beam of 72.9 feet, and a draft of up to 21 feet.

Power comes from 4 IHI (General Electric) LM2500-30 series gas turbines delivering over 68,010 hp to both rear axles, giving the vessel good legs and a maximum sea speed of 30 knots.

There are about 300 crew members on board. The stern helipad provides support for a Navy helicopter, which includes an attached hangar with full support facilities. Carry a rigid inflatable boat (RHIB) for boarding.

These systems include the AN/SPY-1D(V) passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radar suite, the AN/SPQ-9 surface search radar, and the AN-SQQQ-89 anti-submarine suite.

Armament is based on projectiles and missiles, the latter being the main focus of the ship. 1 x 5" (127mm) /L64 Mk 45 Mod 4 gun and turret mounted above forecastle and supported by two 20mm Phalanx Close-In Weapon Systems (CIWS) digitally controlled and tasked with defense Low-Flying Air Threats The ship's missile range includes 64-cell and 32-cell Vertical Launch System (VLS) surface and underwater threats.

The ship can launch standard SM-2MR missiles, SM-3 anti-ballistic missiles, standard SM-6 missiles and 07 VL-ASROC anti-submarine weapons. In addition, anti-submarine warfare (ASW) support is provided by the ship-based helicopter, which is equipped to deal with maritime threats.

Like JS Maya, JS Haguro uses the powerful AEGIS combat kit in combination with Seafaring, giving her a significant advantage over regional opponents. COGLAG (Combined Gas-Electric-Gas) propulsion schemes are also used for fuel economy measures - differing in the amount of propulsion power required for fast action or general cruising.

Stealth capabilities and other signature-reducing features are also built into the warship's hull and superstructure.
