atago class destroyer Modello 3D

the atago class is fundamentally an improved and scaled-up version of the kongō-class destroyers. the class features large accommodation and the ships are capable of flexible operation. one of the most obvious changes is an additional hangar to carry one sh-60k helicopter. in comparison to the kongō class/arleigh burke class (flight i) which only had helicopter platforms (but no support equipment), these ships have ***ter helicopter handling facilities. to enhance the atago class' function as command centers, the bridge is two decks higher than aboard a arleigh burke class flight iia, making their full load displacement over 10,000 tons—the first time for a jmsdf surface combat vessel. the caliber has extended from the 54 caliber of the kongō class to the 62 caliber with strengthened powder charge enabling a 38 km firing range. as with other japanese ships being refit, the american-made harpoon missiles (such as in the initial configuration of the kongō class) have been replaced with the japanese-made type 90 (ssm-1b) surface-to-surface guided missiles.
