2nd Izumo Class Destroyer

[James David]

Japan Named and Launched its 2nd Izumo Class Helicopter Destroyer DDH-184 "Kaga"
That was fast! 2nd already?

Kaga was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the third to enter service, named after the former Kaga Province in present-day Ishikawa Prefecture.

Izumo class Helicopter Destroyers have 5 helicopter spots and accomodation for 14 in hangar (a typical "air wing" would consist in 7 SH-60J or SH-60K ASW Helicopters, 2 UH-60J SAR Helicopters, 2 MCH-101 minesweeping helicopters and 2 CH-47J).

@Nihonjin1051 , buddy stop lurking and lets celebrate! Oh and by the way, this is the first thread i created.

they are clearly building a navy that can take back Taiwan and deny outsiders access of SCS.

i doubt China intends to send it's Navy around the world to fight wars they use soft power for that
