Asagiri-Class Destroyers for the Philippines? | Japan’s Big Move in Asia

The Philippine Navy may soon receive more than just the Abukuma-class from Japan. Reports suggest that two Asagiri-class destroyers, powerful multi-role warships built during the Cold War, could be transferred to the Philippines after decommissioning by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

This episode of west pacific watch explores what the Asagiri-class means for Philippine naval power: their history, costs, modernization impact, and how they fit into Horizon Three. With tensions rising in the South China Sea, could these destroyers transform the Philippine Navy from a coastal force into a true blue-water fleet?

Stay tuned until the end as we break down the strategy, sovereignty implications, and regional response if the Philippines accepts these ships.
