That’s not a Japanese classic flat top.

Agreed.

It's above water.

Can't resist. Child of the 60's brought up on "Victory At Sea"...

I’m betting that the helicopter carrier has built into it the capability to quickly add an electric catapult and convert to fixed wing aircraft.

And they so totally couldn't be retrofitted for the F-35!

Because......they said they wouldn't.

Everybody got that!?

France has Two Amphibious Helicopter Carries they aren't using.

Japan, Australia or Canada could but them to good use.

Except the Instruction Manuals are in Russian.
