Just the thing for the new Japanese carrier.

Didn't you read the article. It's not a carrier. It's a helicopter carrying destroyer for FOUR(4) only helicopters.

Who could possibly mistake for a carrier?

Have you seen the light carriers fielded by the UK, France, italy, Spain, India, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, and Thailand?

I'm shocked at the design. It is so 1970's. I would expect a stealthy one similar to the corvairs the Penatogon is touting.

Nice looking ship. The Japanese (like the Russians with aircraft) have a flair for design. This is Beijing's worst nightmare coming true.
