There was a reason why Japan was carefully defanged after WWII - they were entirely too good at warfare.
Well, they have had a chance to detoxify from the effect of their 1930s militarism. So yes, they should rearm.

The good news is that their ASW skills look pretty sharp.

The Japenese martime Self Defense Force is in fact the third of fourth, I forget which, largest navy in the world. Their ships are the equivalent of ours and use many of the same systems. IE they are more then capable to protect their home waters.

Japan doesn't have a "navy", it has a self defense maritime association ;-)
