Current Events : Japans new carrier?


Japan gets a aircraft carrier, errr aircraft destroyer or something like that...
13,950-ton JDS Hyuga (16DDH) is handed over to Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force from its builder IHI Marine United Inc. in Yokohama, southwest of Tokyo.

The newly-built helicopter-carrying destroyer, similar in design to a small aircraft carrier, is the the largest Japanese warship since World War II.
