Japan Removes Weapons from JS Sendai |Abukuma-Class Warship Bound for Philippine Navy

Описание: Japan has begun removing weapons from JS Sendai
(DE-232), an Abukuma-class destroyer escort of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force-signaling a possible transition toward transfer to the Philippine Navy.
In this in-depth analysis, we examine the current status of JS Sendai, why its armament is being removed, and what this development means for Philippine naval modernization.
The Abukuma class is among the Japanese warships under discussion for transfer as Japan retires older vessels and deepens security cooperation with Southeast Asia.
Weapon removal is not a downgrade. It reflects Japan's defense export rules, logistical realities, and the Philippines' need to customize any transferred ship to its own doctrine and systems. This video explains how and why warships are transferred without weapons-and what steps come next before any Philippine commissioning.
We also assess how Abukuma-class destroyer escorts could fill critical capability gaps in the Philippine Navy, particularly in maritime patrol, escort missions, and West Philippine Sea operations.
This is a calm, fact-based breakdown of a quiet but significant naval development with long-term strategic implications.
