Japan does a good job at ship building, hope china can quickly catch up.

Very impressive Navy but is this exercise a response to PLAN naval training in western pacific recently?

I would be much more impressed if it is a true fixed wing aircraft carrier escorted by the fast attack nuclear subs under the water.

the fate of old one with same name :
In May 1942 while conducting gunnery practice along with Nagato, Mutsu, and Yamashiro, the Hyūga's left gun breach in her No. 5 turret exploded, threatening the explosion of the magazine and the loss of the ship. Fifty-one crew members died in the explosion. The two aft magazines were rapidly flooded to save the ship.
Run aground in shallow waters at 27 July 1945
Raised and scrapped 2 July 1946-4 July 1947

I don't think so. My assumption is that this is just a mandatory operation. Each Carrier of the JMSDF , from the Hyuga Class to the Izumo Class are assigned a strike group and are sent anywhere from the Northern Pacific, Western Pacific, to the South Pacific for necessary combat training. Tho there is never a time where all Carrier Strike Groups are ever outside Japanese Waters, at least 1 is in home waters.

I don't think any navy is signaled or specified as a threat in these exercises nor is it intended to make a political statement. These exercises are done , specifically intended to test the Fleet to respond to emergency situations , tests the battle readiness of every commander of each ship , and most importantly the intercommensurability of the Fleet's ability to conduct operations under duress under a host of environment(s) as a unified Force.

Anyways, more of the Hyuga Carrier Strike Group in Action,

The Hyuga Strike Group, does include a number of Submarine prowlers. Quite a few, actually of the Oyashio and Soryu Class, one of the best of its class.

Like Ninjas -- deadly, quiet.
