Concept/Prototype

The JS Katori is based on a conceptual model of a BMD (Ballistic Missile Defence) ship unveiled in 2013 by the Huntington Ingalls Industries. It is based on the hull of the San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock. As the Japanese government cancelled the planned Aegis Ashore missile defense system in 2020, they are now considering the development of a BMD ship instead.
