Sometimes I wonder if these carriers, both Japanese and the British, are really meant to complement the US carrier force instead of being solely a instrument of national policy. Having one or two of these carriers gives the country some flexibility but they can't keep them at sea continuously and having just one or two is vulnerable whereas adding them to a US task force increases their value exponentially.

to be fair these carriers dont have to have the operational radius that an American carrier has to have.  except for flag showing missions these ships wont ever be more then 2000 miles from home.  as ASW platforms these things are going to be monsters.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I don't know much about the Chinese Navy. Are they mostly sub-based? Because in that case, ouch.

they have a decent D/E sub component for their technology base.  Im also going to make a guess and say that the 18 embarked helo number is somewhat false.  Im sure these can carry a lot more.

So why do the Japanese need a carrier?  Just how far away are they planning to project force?

They just need 4 more of these bad boys and the Imperial Navy's glory will be restored.   ;D

To the Senkaku Islands at least.

The same thought went through my mind SDR.

To the Senkaku Islands at least.

Those islands are well within the range of the Mitsubishi F-2s and F-15s that are or could be deployed to the Naha Air Base.

My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.
