In service: expected to enter service in 2023
Completed: Two on order, one completed - trials, one under construction

General characteristic:

Displacement: 87,000 tons (standard), 95,000 tons (full)
Length: 320 meters
Beam: 75.2 meters
Draft: 10.8 meters
Power: 280,000 ship (200,000 kW)
Speed: 37.5 knots
Range: Unlilmited distance; 30-35 years
Crew: 2200
Armament:
48-cell Mk-42 VLS (22 on each side of front part of the ship) for mix of:

Amagi class aircraft carrier was largest Japanese ship built since retirement of Hayataka class aircraft carrier in 1957. It marks first carrier in Japanese navy in over fifty years. Amagi was created as direct answer to Chinese Mei Long class super carriers.

F-35 Lightning II (VTOL) variant was to become mainstery on Amagi class carriers. Due its small size it is believed that more then sixty would operate from each Amagi class carriers.

Due heavy advancements and automatizations Amagi would operate smaller crews then American Nimitz class. However, like Hyuga and Izumo, it is expected that Amagi class would also be excellent platform whom it will be capable deploy large number of helicopters in case of natural dissasters like tsunamis, earthquakes and vulcano eruptions.

It is also believed that with launch of Amagi, Americans would no longer need to have carrier in Asia, as Japan would take over in providing cover with their own carriers. Although it was expected that elements of US battlegroup stationed in Japan would remain there.
