Talk:JDS Mirai

Tomahawks
Part of the article makes the claim "There are several statements by characters in the story that the maximum range of the Mirai's weapons is 270 miles. The maximum range of the Tomahawk is approximately 1500 miles. That discrepancy suggests that even if the missiles in the story are called Tomahawks, they really aren't."

This is not quite correct. The basic land attack Tomahawk does inded have a range of about 1500 miles. However, it is in no way the only Tomahawk missile to be produced. The anti-ship version of the Tomahawk (TASM) has a range of almost exactly 270 miles, and thus is most likely what is referred to in the manga and anime. In addition, it's possible that such a weapon could be considered consistent with Japan's constitutional prohibition against offensive weaponry, since anti-ship missiles have a clear defensive role. &mdash; Red XIV (talk) 05:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * What's interesting about the Mirai using the anti-ship Tomahawk is that particular variant of the missile was only ever used by the U.S. Navy, and never exported. In addition, the TASM was withdrawn from use at least a decade ago, although I'd need to look up the exact date. Musashi1600 (talk) 11:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * What does it matter? There are plenty of conflicting claims for the range of various weapons systems out there.  Hell, if most claims for the ceiling of the SA-2 were true, no U-2s would have ever been shot down.  Andy Christ (talk) 08:02, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

There should be some info from the Umidori page here. 132.205.44.5 (talk) 01:01, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I have added details re the Unidori's design in comparison with the Canadair CL-84 - the similarity with the intended mission of the refined CL-84 for use in the never - realised Sea Control Ships (Air Enthusiast November 1973) is very striking...It can be argued that the design of the British Invincible Class Carriers is that of a Sea Control Ship, as is the USMC Tarawa class carriers. Please feel free to review this page, and make modifications as required. Deepshark (talk) 06:41, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Name Change
The title of this page refer to Mirai as DDG 182 which is incorrect. The ship is refer in the series as "DDH" (helicopter destroyer) not "DDG" 182 (guided missile destroyer), the insignia on the cap of the crew is clearly identified the ship as DDH (and even the image title itself is already use the term DDH 182 on the file sources). I have already edited all of the references in the page that I have seen, still have no idea how to edit the heading and the displayed image title though.

Interestingly, the name DDH 182 is already existed in real life as the JDS Ise, one of the Hyuga-class helicopter destroyer. Might be interesting to some detail of that here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.89.88.237 (talk) 15:10, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
