I think Australia could talk to Japan about co-designing a Teir one General purpose destroyer with increased VLS. Even something with 72 VLS would be very handy. In my mind, three AWD is not enough. The fleet looks unbalanced. I'm sure a modified Hunter would be great as well but, as far as I can see, working with BAE, means coming with an open cheque book.
Absolutely.
Japan ordered 2 ASEV, 1 under construction - service dates 2027 or 2028 and 2028 or 2029. (Not really suitable for RAN at this point in time.)
The new Destroyer for the 2030s(DDGX to replace the Kongo class is under development, so too the DDX to replace the Murasame class.)
BAE will have the Hunter AWD as an option and probably the Type 83.
