Good morning. I hope you are doing well.

That's easily converted into a carrier with VSTOL aircraft. The Japanese should have named the ship "Agaki." That would have pissed off a lot of people.

5.56mm

The name Izumo is appropriate. It is the name of the flagship the Japanese naval force that invaded China. And the Chinese have noticed and do not like it one bit.
