The war in Ukraine has shown that ships are mostly irrelevant, tanks, as well, are no longer so important as they used to be. Right now the most important piece of equipments are: air defense systems, long range (the longer, the better) mobile artillery, multiple rocket launchers, drones (of any shape and sizes), missiles, especially hypersonic, helicopters, submarines (just for nuclear war), counter drone technologies (jamming, microwaves, net guns, high energy lasers), mines, guided bombs, etc.
Armored vehicles, tanks, ships are all too much vulnerable to drones and missiles, and even artillery. Even jet fighters lost their relevance nowadays. I think Japan went in the wrong direction. If I was the ministry of defense of a country, I would develop and build drones, missiles, air defense systems, etc. I would not spend a damn penny on ships and tanks, not even fighter jets. I guess Japan, in light of the current conflict, realised their plan is not smart at all.
By the way, Japan should focus on building a Gundam, not ships...
