Japan to hold launching ceremony of latest aircraft carrier at Yokohama



The naming and launching ceremony of latest aircraft carrier-class destroyer “22DDH” will be held at Yokohama on Aug. 6, 2013. “22DDH" is a light aircraft carrier under the name of building "helicopter carrier". It's Japan's new generation helicopter destroyer. The Japanese helicopter carrier can be seen at the pictures. 

Its here.

The long awaited 22DDH is finally about to hit the water.  Somewhere Chinese leaders are shudering.  Japan is slowly but surely militarizing.

Won't it be ironic, if Japan becomes a major military power again all because China misplayed its hand?  Remember, while we're seeing countries unite in opposition to China, they also have age old beef between them.  S. Korean hates Japan.  Japan hates Vietnam.  Vietnam hates S. Korea.  Etc.

The guy sitting on the outside looking out his window at a neighborhood thats becoming dangerous is Australia.  Militarily they are outclassed by the S. Koreans, Japanese and maybe even Singapore.  Which is why I expect to see a major US Joint Base established there soon.
