seeing as america protecting taiwan from china is doubtful, and also failed to protect hongkong from china, its appropriate that japan actually starts to do the peacekeeping in southeast asia, america is unreliable and only act when their interests align, unlike japan who actually live in southeast asia and benefit greatly from the maritime silk road and chennai vladivostok maritime corridor, as the only country in SEA advanced enough to protect the southeast its a perfect time for japan to start being allowed to build aircraft carriers especially since america can't be trusted to do their damn job, america has no right to enforce restrictions on japan if america doesn't even want to mobilize the 7th fleet to defend taiwan. if taiwan falls, then china has control over all maritime trade routes in the southeast, i'm sure i dont need to explain why that would be a bad thing for the world economy as unstable as it currently is
@@chloekaftan To think of it, Taiwan is the "modern Poland". I am also thinking about the same scenario that both Americans and the Aussies would do nothing to save Taiwan is a sudden Chinese blitzkrieg striked the island. That's why it's very favorable for Japan to rearm itself since it would be Asia's "last bastion" just like Britain if everything's lost within the region. Japan would also most likely to be the staging point for both the Americans and Aussies to conduct both bombing and amphibious operations to invade China.

WW2 Japan: These aren't battleships or cruisers, they're 'aviation' battleships and cruisers, oh, and then there are also a few 'aviation' submarines too XD
Greeting from Japan. In many topics of modern Japanese combat ships in the English-speaking world, these ships are called "destroyer". But in fact, the Japanese government and JMSDF do not classify their ships as actual destroyers. In Japanese, these ships are called "goeikan" officialy, and many Japanese people do so. If you translate it directly, it means "escort ship"(but the nuance is closer to "combat ship"). However, for some reason, it's translated as ”destroyer” on many English webs like wikipedia. This is probably because the ship numbers of these are DD-XX. Izumo class ships are also designated as DDH-XX. Or perhaps The Ministry of Defense introduced these as "destroyers" casually in its English official web without thinking. However, in any case, its just customary. There is no deep meaning. In my opinion, The Japanese government has no definite intention of making its carrier ownership ambiguous to the international community. Also, Japan has no treaties with any countries that restrict the ownership or operation of aircraft carriers, unlike Russia.
I thought "kaibokan" was "escort ship"? Either way as you said it - it is the "DDH" code which means - "destroyer with helicopters" in US/NATO ship code, like DDG - "destroyer with guided weapons".
@储有奈 He just said that russia is restricted by the Montreux Convention which does not allow aircraft Carriers and submarines to transit through the Turkish straits. That is the reason why then soviet and now Russian carriers are classified as heavy aircraft carrying cruisers and why the submarine element of the permanently deployed soviet 5th eskandra was provided by the northern fleet instead of the black sea fleet.
I suppose this is one of the impact of the existence of F-35Bs. Previously navies that don't usually think of operating naval fixed wing due to not having full sized carriers or how the gap capability of a standard fixed wing fast jet to i.e Harriers didn't make fielding Harriers worth it. Now a "light carrier" can field a VTOL jet that isn't that far down in capability to a standard F-35 (other than slightly decreased speed/range/payload).
Exactly. Even Western allies who have "ski jump" carriers mainly flew STOL aircraft like Harriers which had almost no range or payload but was all that was available for decades. For a long time now, if a Harrier ever confronted a modern, frontline fighter it would be in pieces within seconds of detection so could operate only against very low level, limited opposition. The F-35B may still be a compromise but is far closer to what you'd expect of a fully capable multi-mission front line fighter that should more than hold its own against even advanced defenses.
@@tonysu8860 Frankly, I doubt that the F35B will fare any better against a modern stealth-fighter than the Harrier would do against an F15. The F35B was criticised for its slow speed and limited payload as well.
The Izumos were always meant to be converted to true carriers and naval enthusiasts knew this from the beginning. Japan was ensuring they had the design and tech knowhow to maintain fleet carrier capabilities.
Unfortunately for them Carriers have become obsolete and they will be the very first "juicy targets" once everyone will come to blow ... You can display all the aegis system in the world in order to repulse a swarm of incoming missiles, but one single sub can wreck havoc your fleet. Why? Because there is something call THE SOFT UNDERBELLY, and it is the attack subs that will fight to the death in order to send it to the bottom. And until you do not develop a real effective under water radar that will be able to detect deeply submerged subs, there is nothing you can do to protect your sea cuffins from the underwater cruise missiles and the 200 miles per hour speedy torpedoes ... Don't send our kids to the Navy : They'd be dead after boarding ...

Not to mention north korea casually flinging their experimental ballistic missiles in Japan’s direction. And then we have the russian pacific fleet doing exercises north of hokkaido. Problems from three directions.
Sir Binkov Japan has 50 years of war experience building carriers, destroyers and submarines. They did not copy unlike the neighbor which bought decommissioned carrier now Liaoning, copied and modified and reproduced. Made in Japan steel is better than its neighbor, Sire.
To be truthful Japan, specifically IJN was a very innovative pioneer in the development of aircraft carrier & carrier tactics. I am curious to see future carriers from Japan and any innovative changes they may employ once they have experience to draw upon. They are, after all a seafaring nation & intelligent & innovative. Yea I’m looking forward to see in what direction they will go with their carriers.

Japan should be prepared to join the BELT AND ROAD initiated by China, for sooner or later, Asia will replace the United States and Europe as the largest economic bloc on the planet surface. Japan should draw a lesson from the nuclear attack it ruthlessly was the victim, and advise the US to try to compete instead of trying to bring the world down with it. The US can still compete and rule the world if it stops behaving like a bully and rather helps heal all the evil it has done. The problem is that the US can't compete anymore, and it's losing ground so fast that in two decades it risks to be downgraded to a third world country. The US must follow the rules that tells it to lean the fat of corruption and find your economic and financial health back otherwise, be eaten from the inside out by your own population ... you know, when the body is starving, it eats itself ... and now the US population is starving ...
One important thing to remind here: The project once known before 2011 as 22DDH, was conceived as an evolution from the previous class of helicopter carriers, the Hyuga-class (Hyuga and Ise). Officially at least, there were no plans for F-35Bs, and the most possible acquisition for it were the Ospreys. But the overall design was done taking into consideration that, in case F-35Bs were purchased, the carrier would need only some modifications. In the meantime, it would focus heavily on anti-submarine warfare, as well as other related operations. Compared to other comparable American carriers, this class was not built for amphibious operations. So in fact, it is some sort of carrier that was built not to be deployed abroad (because of constitutional limitations), but to secure the surroundings of Japan, and adyacent "seas of interest". If Japan were to build a full-fledged AC, it would first need to overcome sluggish constitutional discussions. Of course, we are no longer in 2012, but public opinion will be key for that to happen one day.
Aircraft Carrier? No, no, no, my dude. That's not an Aircraft Carrier! Not at all! It's a Multipurpose Destroyer, that's what it is! \s (For Context, Japan can't operate Aircraft Carriers due to their Constitution that was made after WW2 for obvious reasons. They are only allowed to have Defensive Weapons. ACs are considered Offensive Weapons and in order for them to get that they need to change their Constitution as OP has pointed out.)
@@randomka-52alligatorthatis34 I know about the constitutional matters. But even if it's not the case, Japan would doubtly need such a full-fledged carrier. Once the Izumo-class modifications are completed, and possibly new ones were to be added (a prospect, nothing announced by now), they are more than enough to defend Japan. Unless Japan is worried about the need to defend interest all the way to Africa and the Americas, there's no need for it. A dispersed carrier force it is better suited for them, without much costs. But who knows, things may change sooner than expected
Even if that happens, its fine. World war 2 is practically what made us the king of the world. We benefited the most from it than any other Nation. If Japan hadn't dragged us into the war, world would be a different place and much worse.
"The Japanese Navy got their first aircraft carrier since WW2 on December 5th." ... I suspect that date was chosen because she could sail from Tokyo to within a striking distance of Oahu in 2 days...
Production of Japanese aircraft carriers is a step in the right direction. China was probably the first threat the Japanese had in mind, when planning construction. Ironically, with China throwing its weight around the Pacific Ocean and beyond, the US and Australia seem to have more confidence about Japanese possession of aircraft carriers, than the Japanese themselves do.
I think they're just leery of overstimulating the Budo fighting spirit of Japan. It didn't turn out so well last time. Sadly, it'll probably become necessary regardless.
@@orneryokinawan4529 Yeah but as it was proven in WW2 you cant win a war. So would you rather have a clean ship and lose naval wars or be a bit sloppy and win them?
I am glad to see the Japanese navy back.the world is not as used to be. Peace and stability has to be maintain. In the Asia pacific region, the return of a Japanese military capability will keep the balance in the region.
Not so fast, Japan can rearm itself anytime it wants, and dumb enough to make the wrong moves in that region, and it will have to contend with Russia, China, both Koreans which it knows would be all over her islands. The US is just using Japan as a buffer which it could manipulate easily as Japan cannot make any moves without looking over its shoulders to see if the master is really behind it.
Am I the only chuckling at the irony that soon a United States Marine unit is going to be training people on board a carrier that shares a name with one of the ships that bombed them at Pearl harbour, the Marshall Islands, and Midway.
Its no irony, its just international politics and cooperation at work. The fact that people can move on, for the good like how the USA helped the UK in both World Wars or for the bad in how an Ally in WW1 became an enemy in WW2 because they don't get taken seriously in the interwar League of Nations (look up Race Equality proposal and how Woodrow Wilson fuck that up if you interested in how fast international politics can change)

@@chloekaftan
To think of it, Taiwan is the "modern Poland". I am also thinking about the same scenario that both Americans and the Aussies would do nothing to save Taiwan is a sudden Chinese blitzkrieg striked the island. That's why it's very favorable for Japan to rearm itself since it would be Asia's "last bastion" just like Britain if everything's lost within the region. Japan would also most likely to be the staging point for both the Americans and Aussies to conduct both bombing and amphibious operations to invade China.
Happy for Japan. As an American it feels good to see our allies fielding state of the art fire power.

Greeting from Japan.
In many topics of modern Japanese combat ships in the English-speaking world, these ships are called "destroyer".
But in fact, the Japanese government and JMSDF do not classify their ships as actual destroyers.
In Japanese, these ships are called "goeikan" officialy, and many Japanese people do so. If you translate it directly, it means "escort ship"(but the nuance is closer to "combat ship").
However, for some reason, it's translated as ”destroyer” on many English webs like wikipedia. This is probably because the ship numbers of these are DD-XX. Izumo class ships are also designated as DDH-XX.
Or perhaps The Ministry of Defense introduced these as "destroyers" casually in its English official web without thinking.
However, in any case, its just customary. There is no deep meaning.
In my opinion, The Japanese government has no definite intention of making its carrier ownership ambiguous to the international community.
Also, Japan has no treaties with any countries that restrict the ownership or operation of aircraft carriers, unlike Russia.
I thought "kaibokan" was "escort ship"?
Either way as you said it - it is the "DDH" code which means - "destroyer with helicopters" in US/NATO ship code, like DDG - "destroyer with guided weapons".
Thanks for the info. Always good to get local Intel.
@储有奈 He just said that russia is restricted by the Montreux Convention which does not allow aircraft Carriers and submarines to transit through the Turkish straits. That is the reason why then soviet and now Russian carriers are classified as heavy aircraft carrying cruisers and why the submarine element of the permanently deployed soviet 5th eskandra was provided by the northern fleet instead of the black sea fleet.

I suppose this is one of the impact of the existence of F-35Bs. Previously navies that don't usually think of operating naval fixed wing due to not having full sized carriers or how the gap capability of a standard fixed wing fast jet to i.e Harriers didn't make fielding Harriers worth it.
Now a "light carrier" can field a VTOL jet that isn't that far down in capability to a standard F-35 (other than slightly decreased speed/range/payload).
Well said. They are a gamechanger.
it has the same speed as f 35a the deceases are range and payload
the downside is the price of f35 b is huge
Exactly. Even Western allies who have "ski jump" carriers mainly flew STOL aircraft like Harriers which had almost no range or payload but was all that was available for decades. For a long time now, if a Harrier ever confronted a modern, frontline fighter it would be in pieces within seconds of detection so could operate only against very low level, limited opposition. The F-35B may still be a compromise but is far closer to what you'd expect of a fully capable multi-mission front line fighter that should more than hold its own against even advanced defenses.
@@tonysu8860 Frankly, I doubt that the F35B will fare any better against a modern stealth-fighter than the Harrier would do against an F15. The F35B was criticised for its slow speed and limited payload as well.
This time, it is a force what helps defending freedom and democracy.
The Izumos were always meant to be converted to true carriers and naval enthusiasts knew this from the beginning. Japan was ensuring they had the design and tech knowhow to maintain fleet carrier capabilities.
Unfortunately for them Carriers have become obsolete and they will be the very first "juicy targets" once everyone will come to blow ... You can display all the aegis system in the world in order to repulse a swarm of incoming missiles, but one single sub can wreck havoc your fleet. Why? Because there is something call THE SOFT UNDERBELLY, and it is the attack subs that will fight to the death in order to send it to the bottom. And until you do not develop a real effective under water radar that will be able to detect deeply submerged subs, there is nothing you can do to protect your sea cuffins from the underwater cruise missiles and the 200 miles per hour speedy torpedoes ... Don't send our kids to the Navy : They'd be dead after boarding ...
That's the only method to cheat the eyes of USA/UK, China, Russia that are forcing us to abandon our armed force.
@@rodfel2001 The US controls all the worlds oceans ,especially in submarine warfare ,we track every sub of theirs every time and they never track a submarine of ours ever, add in UK and Aus. Now the Chinese do have credible threats to carriers , their land based missiles, that is why in times of conflict the carriers stand off from shore by some distance.
Good for the Japanese to assume some responsibility,they are a maritime nation and need a strong navy, it doesn't hurt they work closely with the Us,UK,Aus and many others,remem when the Chinese built up a reef and fortified it? The Japanese have hundreds of much bigger islands ,big enough for air strips and they work with the US to fortify ones that cause the most consternation to China.

Japan should be prepared to join the BELT AND ROAD initiated by China, for sooner or later, Asia will replace the United States and Europe as the largest economic bloc on the planet surface. Japan should draw a lesson from the nuclear attack it ruthlessly was the victim, and advise the US to try to compete instead of trying to bring the world down with it. The US can still compete and rule the world if it stops behaving like a bully and rather helps heal all the evil it has done.
The problem is that the US can't compete anymore, and it's losing ground so fast that in two decades it risks to be downgraded to a third world country.

One important thing to remind here: The project once known before 2011 as 22DDH, was conceived as an evolution from the previous class of helicopter carriers, the Hyuga-class (Hyuga and Ise). Officially at least, there were no plans for F-35Bs, and the most possible acquisition for it were the Ospreys. But the overall design was done taking into consideration that, in case F-35Bs were purchased, the carrier would need only some modifications. In the meantime, it would focus heavily on anti-submarine warfare, as well as other related operations. Compared to other comparable American carriers, this class was not built for amphibious operations.
So in fact, it is some sort of carrier that was built not to be deployed abroad (because of constitutional limitations), but to secure the surroundings of Japan, and adyacent "seas of interest". If Japan were to build a full-fledged AC, it would first need to overcome sluggish constitutional discussions. Of course, we are no longer in 2012, but public opinion will be key for that to happen one day.
I like to see a fellow expert. :)
It does make you feel like this was planned all along, though.
Aircraft Carrier?
No, no, no, my dude.
That's not an Aircraft Carrier! Not at all!
It's a Multipurpose Destroyer, that's what it is! \s
(For Context, Japan can't operate Aircraft Carriers due to their Constitution that was made after WW2 for obvious reasons. They are only allowed to have Defensive Weapons. ACs are considered Offensive Weapons and in order for them to get that they need to change their Constitution as OP has pointed out.)
Too bad The Imperial Japanese Navy lost at Midway.
@@randomka-52alligatorthatis34 I know about the constitutional matters. But even if it's not the case, Japan would doubtly need such a full-fledged carrier. Once the Izumo-class modifications are completed, and possibly new ones were to be added (a prospect, nothing announced by now), they are more than enough to defend Japan. Unless Japan is worried about the need to defend interest all the way to Africa and the Americas, there's no need for it. A dispersed carrier force it is better suited for them, without much costs. But who knows, things may change sooner than expected

The best thing to prevent war is to make peace cheaper then the price of war.
Kaga ,Hiryu ,Soryu loading..... The kidobutai is back
大日本帝国万歳 🇯🇵 from JAPAN

我々は日本国を自衛するために復活します
bringing the imperial Japan out of retirement for 1 more round.
If the need arises we will fight side by side like brothers to defend each other! 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
@@djozenkoski472 どうぞよろしくおねがいします🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
Kaga is BACK!!!!!!
In 2030 japan will have a catobar "destroyer"
Maybe they'll make a Heavy Aircraft Cruiser, as the Soviets said to pass through the Bosphorus in Turkey
Good
"... and the biggest difference between the Izumo carrier and the Wasp carrier is that the Izumo can transform into a giant robot."
Hai! So desu!
no wonder why i keep getting modern carrier image when trying to search for the "kaga aircraft carrier"
One thing I know for sure is Australia has Japan's back and Japan has Australia's back
@Phil Smiley Nguyen Let the games begin!!! S Asian Nato vs Red Army!!!
This will be the same with the Australian navy, our Canberra class light carriers could EASILY be made to carry the F35B.
Those ships are not heated resistant
true yes ,werent they , your navy or govt talking about altering the Canberras for that ? I wish Canada would get something like that , an LHD type platform .we could with a bit more or some effort , but the liberals dont like spending that kind of money on defense, and make it hard even when the Conservatives are in power .. * smh
@@jecos1966 neither were the Izumo class until their recent refit to harden the decks for F35 operations.
Canberras could (and SHOULD) undergo the same refit ASAP.
@@mikeneufield2855 We could really use a couple ships to augment our current military's main focus of peace keeping and disaster relief. And a helicopter carrier would fit that role very well, we use helicopters for both peace keeping and disaster relieving and the helicopters would really need an escort in hostile airspace so a few F-35s would suit.
@@jecos1966 All of the issues have been assessed and both the Canberra class LHDs could be reconfigured to carry VTOL aircraft and it would not cost a vast amount and it would not effect the ships capability much at all. If you would like to see a full break down, there is a video doing just that on the channel hypohystericalhistory
The two Izumo class carriers are actually part of a bigger plan. They are meant to attach and form the "arms" of the new Japanese "Super Dimensional Fortress 1" or rather the SDF-1.
“Guess who’s back”
Kamikaze
I guarantee Japan will be building a larger CV as a follow-up to the Izumo class
If Japan decides to build a literal aircraft carrier, then thats the real deal
*glares in kamikaze*
@@HiyoruMikiyazoya well... the origin of the kamikaze came from the IJA air wing. and theyre known to be the most radical in the IJ military so...
@@normanarmslave5144 so you confuse the JSDF with the IJA. you atr stupid
@@jarrodskufcagaming5203 chill the fuck out man. he said "if"
@@jarrodskufcagaming5203 uhmmm wut?
As an American, seeing all our Allies getting these new weapons makes me feel a little safer.
Just like the Taliban. Lol
@@SCH292 I doubt the UK, Australia, or Japan are going to collapse into anarchy any time soon.
The lack of self awareness is breathtaking
funny give them nuke
Except the ones who live in area the are in tension that stuff is basically next door I don't think Japanese, Korean, NK and Chinese that aren't into the propaganda, form taiwanese to Philippines feel safer being around nation playing a deadly game of chicken doesn't matter if the weapons are old or new nobody is going to be happy with WWIII
Kaga is back, baby
It's great that there's ship names like Johnston in the U.S. navy, that have a legacy of absolute badassery, unbelievable luck, and performance beyond the wildest and most absurd fantasy, that lives beyond the ship and its crew to become a legend in American history. Hopefully the stories inspire the crew to live up to the legacy of that name.
Yeah the Japanese should rename Kaga.
In other news, HMS Prince Of Wales is now fully operational, and has not only F35's and helicopters aboard but the option of launching small multi-purpose drones too (primarily for training although I bet they could also be adapted to other purposes)
"Training"
@@holy_crusaderoftheholyland4713 well it's true, the main purpose of them is to simulate attacking enemy low-level missiles or aircraft, for the F35's and the carrier group's own defences to practice against
But what nations aircraft is the POW using as the QE is using mainly US aircraft and pilots in very limited numbers?
@@georgebarnes8163 half-American half-British in the Queen Elizabeth's case, two thirds British in fact if you count the helicopters, and ALL-British in Prince Of Wales's case, no US Marines aboard in her case
@@1IbramGaunt Neither ship can operate any aircraft bar the US F35B, the POW has no fixed wing aircraft at all and the QE has 10 US marine aircraft and 6 RAF aircraft, the RN has zero fixed wing aircraft, the QE class carriers are only taxis for the Yanks as they were designed around Yank aircraft which the RN does not have. Other than that the QE class carriers are lame ducks only capable of launching helicopters of which the RN are in short supply with their antiquated Merlins.
Japan names one of the carriers “ Kaga “ Very interesting
It's not the only WWII carrier name repurposed for modern vessels... Do a search on the other carrier names, you'll find several.
Kaga is a province. It's like the US naming a ship USS Marine, doesn't mean we're trying to invade Cuba again.
The Empire Strikes Back
The Japanese empire ain’t what you want to strike back if you give them more power.
The empire is dead dead because of all that anime and waifu done to Japanese man
Carriers are used to project power at a distance. Given Japan's Islands can provide air bases to project across the Sea of Japan and East China Sea, I would expect deployment as a carrier to be for the Philippine Sea. I like the broad application design, but would have preferred it also had a bay to support amphibious ships, and a hangar deck designed to quickly change out modules for different missions.
Japan casually building its own aircraft carrier with ease while Russia and China are struggling with it, lol.
China doing well actually, and their carrier is 3 times bigger than Izumo.
@@bombarderoazul You mean the steam powered carrier with a ramp? Whew, impressive.
@@privatebandana no, their type 003, which should enter service next year, it's about 85,000 tons, and yes they have older Russian one,, which is well maintained And a newer copy, 002, which is new at least.
@@privatebandana All of the US carriers are steam powered! Your point is what?
@@bombarderoazul Russia's glorious naval history..................
It's about damn time. Now build more
First crush China.
@@Sandhill1988 next make Yamato class and super Yamato class super battleships
What do you mean carrier? They're -helicopter- multi-purpose destroyers damnit!
To be fair the designation for Carrier (CV) does translate to something along the lines of fly cruiser or flying cruiser so a light carrier would be a fly destroyer or flying destroyer
@@gwydionrusso3206 Man, the Fly Swatter has come a long way!
Ww3 shaping up nicely.
I would love to see a Spain VS Italy video
Crazy thing about this is that this carrier along with its strike group is with 2 US carrier strike groups and 1 UK carrier strike group off the coast of taiwan right now
Not just that. Japan built a military base in an island of the ryukyu archipielago, some 800km southwest of okinawa, like 200km northeast of taiwan. The Taiwanese were *delighted* by this! They know japan would come to the rescue if CCP invades
@@JosePineda-cy6om partnered with the news that us troops have been training on Taiwanese soil which the Chinese said would be the red line to war
It’s getting hot in here
@@JosePineda-cy6om Plenty of Taiwanese also hate the separatists and the obvious overseas enemies of China though. Does Japan really want what happened last time with the same flag and lose more islands as compensation?
@@tritium1998 Dude, Japan's there to stop the CCP from rolling over the island. They'll not try to take Taiwan back as part of a renewed empire. Why should they? Public perception of Japan is highest in Taiwan among all other East Asian countries. Taiwan and Japan do plenty of commerce and tourism with each other. What would they gain from trying to annex Taiwan? Nothing, and they'd lose a lot. The military base is there against a mainland invasion. That's it. That's all there is to it.
@@victorcharlie5054 really hot i expect armed conflict imminently. Taiwan sent out S.O.S to all countries to help
30 carriers boys, the allies now have 30 freaking carriers!! Hoorah baby!!!
By the way it's freaking crazy that the Kaga, Queen Elizabeth and Enterprise are all going to be fighting on the same side, it's like real world Naval fanfiction right here!!
The fox Girl, the Young queen, and the deadly huntress, the 3 super rare girls!!!
we need them. The battle of Hainan is going to be HUGE!
It's so weird to cheer on war like it's a game. It's not.
@@Top_Weeb we don't chear the war, we chear for our victory.
Everyone is gangsta until Japan started hiring pilots
and then Tokyo get boombed by Chinese bombers and hypersonic miasiles,
@@Emilechen Then China will be crushed by America. Happily ever after.
Oh come on, we all know the planes are just temporary until they get their Gundams built.
Hell yeah
Akagi has entered the chat...
The worlds first 27,000 ton destroyers.
well, if they keep the no cv policy, we could end up with a 40K+ ton destroyer, or even a nuclear destroyer nearly 100K ton, hope they at least will be willing to name those star destroyers or something similar :P
@@thorin1045 wave destroyers?
star doesnt quite fit
Welcome back
If there are more carriers planned, hopefully the namesakes are: Akagi, Soryu, Hiryu, Shokaku or Zuikaku
Exactly my thought, I really wish they continue the name sake sequence
nah dont forget the larget one with the Yamato Hull the SHINANO
@@marvingulanes5577 That could be for when they get a second hand Nimitz from the US, or just order a Ford
Soryu is currently a diesel-electric attack submarine.
@@marvingulanes5577 _Shinano_ had a short and sad career, _Zuikaku_ would be a much better namesake. She was more or less the Japanese answer to the _Enterprise_ until they ran out of trained aviators and sacrificed her as bait at Cape Engano.
Yo the boys are back
