How does this help?
Korea has built four Sejong the Great DDG. In the most recent procurement, they contracted in 2019 with Hyundai Heavy Industries and took delivery of the first of three ships in Nov 2024, with the others following in 2026 and 2027.
In Japan, the Mogami-class frigates were authorized in 2017 and the first pair not delivered until 2022. MHI is in the process of delivering two a year.
Both these designs would have to be modified for full US sensor and weapons suites, which is the issue that plagued the Constellation class frigate at @FincantieriUS. All of this means @NAVSEA must be onboard.
