Let’s be honest New Zealand will just buy straight from Japan. If we can make it work then so will New Zealand. Japan is hungry to sell these ships to overseas buyers now and will have one of there yards dedicated to supply. It’s als in japans interest to sell to NZ. Australia will just maintain and upgrade them over their life. Nothing more nothing less.

I’d speculate the RAN may not be the only foreign customer for the Mogami.
Should an Indonesia, India , Taiwan or someone else come on board, NZ will no doubt be influenced.
Japan is now in sell mode
They will set up a thousand production lines if the orders come through.
Japanese built Mogami in a time table that suits all players I’d say is both doable and desirable.
NZ you just need to write the cheque.
That cheque is for a minimum of three vessels!!!
