The New FFM (Japanese: 新型FFM, Hepburn: Shingata FFM), also known as 06FFM or the Upgraded Mogami, is a frigate class planned to be built for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and the Royal Australian Navy.
The New FFM frigates were ordered instead of continuing with the original production run of the Mogami-class frigates, reducing the planned total of Mogami frigates from 22 to 12. A total of 12 New FFM frigates will be built for the JMSDF. Australia is set to receive up to 11 ships, with the first planned to be commissioned in 2030.
