The Aegis Weapon System baseline 7 has improved tracking accuracy for vertical targets, and an acquisition capability for small low-altitude targets compared with the Aegis Weapon System baseline 4 and 5, used in Kongō class. The Atago also use a new stealthier plain-structure mast, which was originally designed in Japan, rather than familiar lattice type mast. JMSDF
One of the most obvious change is additional hangar to carry one SH-60K helicopter. In comparison to the Kongō-class/Arleigh Burke-class (Flight I) which only had helicopter platforms (but no support equipment), these ships have better helicopter handling facilities.
Ok if Japan was to go to war with the U.S. (as one idiot poster thinks is a good idea) their economy would suffer, we are now so linked war doesn't make sense, also Japan's government doesn't see the world the same way as it did 60 years ago. Oh and the U.S. military is not in a shambles.
With America the way it is today (their military in shambles and Israel-first foreign policy).. Japan would have no trouble at all taking over the US if they got their military back together again.
Japan would have trouble taking over the US considering that most of Japanese warships and airplanes are made in America. One more thing, one modern American Carrier Battle group and the US has several of them, can wipe the ENTIRE japanese navy, past present and future.
