New Japanese Carrier
The new Japanese "helicopter carrier".

It would look better with a ski jump.

As a primarily ASW ship she does have some tools to keep her safe (up to 14 cabs so they say).
At least Japan have (airborne) maritime assets to give their fleet a fighting chance.

At least the Japs have alot of carrier warfare experience from ww2
If JSF ever materialises, will Lockheed Martin have servicing at Pearl Harbour? I heard the Japs can't miss it.
The streamers don't look very tactical and surely are a fod hazard.

Wrote about the Japanese "defence forces" for my masters dissertation...
Here's a few facts for you...
The Japanese are forbidden to have offensive armed forces in their constitution (which was written by the Americans after WW2)
Back in the mid nineties they had the second largest "defence" budget on the planet (after the US)
They had around 90 MPA (not sure what it is now, but more than us
)
They have had the most modern SSK fleet on the planet (they keep circa 16 SSK and build news ones all the time, retiring the "old" to keep the number stable)
With the American's they have the best theatre missile defence (TMD) going (both land-based and shipborne).
I could go on, but you should be pretty jealous by now. If not how about another fact...non-military this time.
They have zero immigration.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
these "helicopter destroyers" aren't new - they have a couple in service already - but the new ones are bigger

I resemble that! I've migrated here and I like it very much. Especially the pluralist democracy ruled by law bit. Add to that schools where they teach good behaviour as well as factual stuff. And a national health system with modern and clean hospitals, and helpful staff. And you can drink water from the tap, the trains run on time and public infrastructure is constantly being maintained/upgraded. And our rivers are pristine and jumping with fish. And I'm surrounded by mountains and get to ski on fresh snow every day. Apart from that, its just like living in the UK. Except we never bother to lock the front door as there's no crime here.
They have zero immigration.
Errrm:
Apart from the fact that they do not allow major aspects of WWII to be taught to their young. Young and middle aged Japanese don't know what the Japs did during WWII.
They deny (even to this day) that they raped, pillaged and killed 15 million Chinese in the thirties.
That 75% of their previous Nuclear Reactors were not even at EU safety standards,
That they are in zero or negative growth for the last 20+ yrs.
That they have recently (2013) introduced the biggest QE campaign in the world to salvage their economy.
That they are broke!
Enjoy.......
