DDH "13,500 ton" Class
Information Dissemination

The JMSDF is planning on buying at least two of these bad boys. All kinds of ink has been spilled about the PLAN moving into the carrier business and here the Japanese got back in the game with hardly anyone noticing. Pretty funny that they got away with it by calling them destroyers. Although they are only planning on using them to carry helicopters for now, I wonder if there is a possibility that we will see F-35s operating off of these someday(is such a thing even possible?).
