Equipped with a powerful radar system and long-range ship-to-air missiles, the guided-missile destroyers are responsible for the fleet's air defence in each fleet unit. In recent years, all ships entering service have been equipped with the Aegis system. In this book, modelers and ship enthusiasts will find valuable information on virtually all guided missile destroyers of the modern Japanese Navy (JMSDF): Type "Tatakaze", Type "Hatakaze", Type "Kongo", Type "Atago" and Type "Maya". This is a comprehensive introduction to all the successive missile destroyers of the JMSDF. The majority of the model examples presented here are in 1:700 scale, with all 16 ships of this particular type represented.
