the december 2022 edition of the "defense program outline (2023-2027)" clearly proposed to reorganize the existing escort fleet and sea-sweeping fleet into a "surface fleet" with new ships to be introduced in the future as the core force. this strategic shift, on the one hand, reflects the japanese maritime self-defense force's emphasis on local security, and on the other hand, it also reflects its sensitivity to changes in the international situation.

the actions of the japan maritime self-defense force are not limited to "major regional threats". in the budget application form of the japanese government, the budget application of the ministry of defense exceeded 8 trillion yen for the first time, which indicates that japan will increase its military investment. behind this is the upgrade and development direction of japan's military power.

for example, japan will build three 4,800-ton new multi-purpose frigates in 2025, marking the strategic transformation of the japan maritime self-defense force to meet future challenges with greater strength. at the same time, japan's defense budget has also increased research and development funds and plans to build two new ships equipped with the aegis system, which provides key support for the improvement of its maritime operational capabilities.

the establishment of the "amphibious mine warfare team" of the japan maritime self-defense force further reflects the upgrading of its military strength. this means that japan will pay more attention to cross-domain combat capabilities and long-range attack capabilities, which will also bring new changes to the international security landscape.

this transformation also reflects that japan's position and influence on the global political stage are being consolidated, while also facing new challenges and pressures.
