Still the undulated hull of WW2

 
Lucklucky, I'm not sure what you mean, but only because I'm not so technically literate on ship hull types. Is it the destroyer numbered 132?

Japanese Defense Minister Taro Kono and his Australian counterpart, Linda Reynolds, agreed Wednesday that an Australian Army liaison officer will be permanently stationed with the Ground Self-Defense Forces as part of efforts to boost military cooperation between the two countries.

The ministers announced the agreement in a joint statement they issued after a meeting in Tokyo.

The two also agreed that fighter planes from Japans Air SDF will take part in Australias Pitch Black multilateral joint exercise for the first time next year, as well as regularizing the two countries Bushido Guardian joint exercise in Japan, according to the statement.

Kono and Reynolds also agreed to establish an exchange program between Japans Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Agency and Australias Defense Science and Technology Group.

The ministers shared their grave concern at Chinas naval expansion in the South China Sea and East China Sea. They agreed to continue talks on a pact to facilitate smooth interactions between the SDF and the Australian military during joint operations and exercises.

Japan and Australia share fundamental values, so I would like to advance bilateral defense cooperation, Kono said.
