US President Donald Trump said he would not rule out the use of military force against North Korea, as Japan sent its biggest warship since WWII to protect a US supply ship.

I would assume they have ASW helicopters aboard to protect from NK subs. Japan is way advanced in anti submarine warfare.

DONALD COME TO SOUTH CAROLINA for special election for Mulvaney’s seat. There’s a Graham-approved Establishment candidate — take him OUT! That would throw a scare into the establishment.
