New Japanese Carrier Honors Pearl Harbor Attack Carrier
Posted on 8/27/15 at 11:28 pm

"Japan has launched the second in its new class of helicopter carrier — the largest Japanese ships since World War II — in a Thursday ceremony in Yokohama.
The 24,000-ton Kaga (DDH-184) — built by ship builder Japan Marine United — bears the same name as the World War II Imperial Japanese Navy carrier Kaga that was part of Pearl Harbor attack and was sunk in the Battle Midway."

I thought we didn't allow them to have a military? Obama is such a fricking pussy!

Sorry first thing that popped in my head was "but we got the bombs".. Let them use an old name, no big deal.

And there ain't a goddamned thing anybody can do about it
You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why
Two words, nuclear fricking weapons, okay?
Russia, Germany, Romania
They can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cake walk
Right through the middle of Tienanmen square
And it won't make a lick of difference
Because we've got the bombs, okay? John Wayne's not dead
He's frozen and as soon as we find the cure for cancer
We're gonna thaw out the duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well multiple that by 15 million times
That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be

Oh shite, well that's different.
We told that guy he can't have a weapon, but it's okay to own a pistol for defense.

It's all good we know how to handle them now. A few planes and a handful of bombs and it's all over.

They have a defense force established in 1954. Thanks Obama

They have been looking at making a more assertive military recently with their relations with China so low. They even had a few guys in their government advocating developing nukes.

And we have a Department of Defense.

I mean the larger military they have at this point means less military responsibility for the US. The WW2 and cold war agreements had us handling their international defense

Their defense force is actually true to its name.

The DoD really needs to change its name back to the Department of War. It's much more accurate and we really haven't defended ourselves in any significant and true measure of the word since WW2.

Sank it once, we can sink it again......

Im sure they are equally as thrilled with our various museums' exhibits that show the giant mushroom clouds over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

we didn't ask to be involved in that war. they did.
surely they recognize their wrong involvement.. why name their new carrier in honor of such dishonor.. or even at that.. a losing effort.. this isn't quite the same as an exhibition.. this is naming their current carrier after such a wrongdoing. i think it's messed up, but i'm not upset over it. just simply an opinion.
germany is not so proud of their involvement in that war.. which is more understandable. they don't want any reminders of it.

Japanese are pretty odd to begin with, so trying to decipher or make sense of their actions would be a losing battle

Isn't Japan forbidden from raising ships/military equipment like this?

Carrier was obviously built to win whale wars
