Christening of the third Japanese Mogami frigate

Christening and launching are two important events in the life of a ship. The latest Japanese frigate Noshiro experienced both together on 22 June. After the type ship and the Kumano, it will be the third ship in the Mogami class. It is named after the river Noshiro in the north of the Japanese main island of Honshu. This frigate was built by MHI in Nagasaki, while other units in the class were built by Mitsui in Tamano. With a length of 130 metres, the ships displace around 3900 tonnes. They will be equipped with a 127-millimetre gun and a Mk41 VLS launcher with 16 cells. In addition, eight Type 17 FKs are available for engaging sea targets.
