Japan Deploys Aegis Destroyer in Anticipation of NK Missile Test
Fox News' Headline for this article is: ‘Japan Deploys Battleship in Anticipation of North Korean Missile Test’, to say the least, I was a bit surprised to find out that the Japanese had a battleship. How'd they keep that a secret for this long?
Yamato is back?
Japan has sent a battleship Aegis destroyer to the Sea of Japan, the Defense Agency said Thursday, amid media reports that North Korea could be preparing another missile test. Defense Agency spokesman Yoshiyuki Ueno said that the Aegis-missile equipped destroyer has top-of-the-line surveillance capabilities.
