Newsweek: US Ally Shows Off Navy's Newly Updated Aircraft Carrier 

Japan has published new pictures of a navy destroyer currently undergoing modifications to become one of the country's first aircraft carriers since World War II. 

The photographs released on December 25 showed the JS Kaga, an Izumo-class destroyer, during sea trials at an undisclosed location. The flat-top warship is being converted from a helicopter carrier into a light aircraft carrier, which will host fifth-generation fighter aircraft designed in the United States. 

Tokyo, the U.S.'s most important ally in Asia, is rearming with American support as both industrial powers look to boost their defenses amid shared security challenges posed by Beijing and Pyongyang.

Now that we have Nazi Army battalions back in the Ukraine, we will also restore the Japanese fleet?


Cannot wait to see the Akagi and Soryu and Hiryu, steaming the line again. It will be just like old times.

"Tokyo, the U.S.'s most important ally in Asia"

LOL, Newsweek, let me correct you. Japan is the U.S.'s most important ally in Asia! Tokyo is the capital city in Japan.

In this sense, the capital city where the government sits is used verbally to represent all that you detail.
