I'm eyeing that bloody Frigate and thinking about the cost of the electronics compared to the steel, and a part of me is thinking to how the Burkes started only about 2000 tons heavier than our Frigates.

And I'm eyeing the nuke plant in the LHA and thinking if we should just resign ourselves to using the OPVs for the next few years, and try to make the jump directly to a 15 kT DDGN.

Two issues I have with our current naval plan though:

What if Japan breaks out their "helicopter destroyers" near what's our rightful islands?

Secondly, do we have any plans to start up and fund Save the Whale charities/PR campaigns, just to fuck that inch more with Japan?

A) That's what our shore based ASCMs and Airy are for. Also Japans Helicopter Destroyers right now are equivalent to the Frigates we're working on IIRC.
B) No, we've had more pressing matters to attend to.

I was thinking more their Izumo-class ones, that people have noticed can just coincidentally now operated F-35s, if they so want.

Fair, just was inspired by the mention of a firehose for handling any whalers in our waters.
 
A movie where whalers are the bad guys?

Oh lord, we're gonna make the other Titanic animated musical for kids, aren't we?
I was more thinking about a pr campaign that may include movie,bok,misic,comic and other we have already used a comiewood action to create a musical style (comiepop) and another to launch superhero comics in guangchou (I'm curious if there are manga in guangchou) so why not use it for a campaign PR of "save the whales".

Althought ther are other idea that sound just as fun or even more,for exemple this:

The Japan Guangchou war.
Not a film but a documentary (or a series of) on the relationship between japan and guangchou before, during and after the war and all the events that happened during all that (including their refusal to acknowledge anything they weren't obligated to and their refusal to send more reparations than the absolute minimum), we must not hide the eventual bad thing that we could have done, to the goal is to be of absolute historical rigor, so there is not a single fact not mentioned/missing/hidden,no approximation or theatricalization so ther is nothing for the Japanese to point the finger and say "it's propaganda and lies", given their behavior during the war no lie is necessary to make them pass for the monsters of history.
Funded some archeology, research and excavation work could help with the final result of the film, as well as sent spies to Japan to find out if our suspicions about the fate of the 135,000 (If i remember well) citizens of Guangchou at the hand of the unit 731 are true could add spice to the slap in the face of japan what would this(these) documentaries be.

Added to this:

-[] Social Espionage in Japan: the disappearance of the 135,000 citizens of guangchou at the hand of the japan during the war has always been like a wound in the mind of the country unable to mourn without certainty of their fate since the japan refuse to say anithing about them, it being worsened by suspicion when the involvement of unit 735 when at their end, it's time to try to put an end to this, find out exactly what happened to them and according to the result, grieve, file a complaint for a crime of war / against the humanity on the Japanese and if you are very lucky bring home any survivors.

cost :-7 Rep for all the costs involved, takes 2 turns (still one Action), and may not yield anything. (by herocooky word)

Could allow us to realy realy mess with japan wile being very good for us and on the top of that be extremely fun.

if you are doing a save the whales campaign you need to include the still active european whalers. otherwise it's just yelling angrily at the Japanese
 
The Hyuga (Izumo's predecessor) wasn't commissioned until 2009 OTL. 😄

Before that they were using Shiranes, which hold 3 ASW helos.
Ahhhhh, so it's a recent thing.

So much for that joke

Heck, given 731 aren't too publicly known at this point in time, making them public like that, while also hinting at their ultimate destinations, IE, US.....

Well, could lead to some fun questions for the White House.

Yeah, but the issue is, psot war, thanks to good old Douglas MacArthur, a lot of their staff got hired by the US, with immunity grants and such, because apparently they had "useful insight".
 
Yeah I remember, if I remember correctly they burned a pastor's white daughter after raping her long enough for her to get pregnant?, and that didn't change a thing, I think?, I don't remember any reaction to this beyond the initial "they fucked up"

It would be really funny if our counter-intel services purposefully played up the sail-less design and smooth hull as drag reducing steps, making it seem like this was our take an an Evolved Alfa type interceptor to get the Americans to build more Seawolfs, when in reality it's really focused on ultra quiet cruising.

Maybe we can "leak" some "top secret info" about how we're making carrier subs that can deploy mecha underwater and close to shore to land on American soil. Get the US to sink money into more boondoggles.
