Wasn't it lost with a couple of others at the battle of Midway? Heard the sunk like a rock.

Looks like they have an old British and an Italian aircraft carrier...

Japan needs to step up in that region. The other options aren't very good.

As a side note, Japan today shows what American troops taking over a dictatorship can do. We had to stay there for quite some time too. Today, I have no problem trusting the Japanese. Can't say that about many other countries.

Apparently the procurement specs crossed out "machine gun" and wrote in "pizza oven."

The Japs having aircraft carriers does not worry me.

As long as they are RED or Muslim.

I believe the eyewitness account was "Look at that flat-top burn!"

If memory serves, the US strike force escorting, protecting, and including Yorktown, Enterprise, and a third US carrier (either Saratoga or Hornet) sank three of the four Japanese carriers attacking A-F.

They can call that a "destroyer" if they like ... she's their ship. But I note that her "top" is remarkably "flat" ... She could be a formidable sea control and ASW asset.
