#3 A competent-looking force indeed. There used to hear a lot of commentary that the Japanese only spend about 1% of their GDP on military forces. To which I have always said, "Yeah, but remember that's one percent of the Japanese GDP -- and all of their forces are concentrated in one place."

#5 probably one of their modified Arliegh Burke class DDG's - what they call a "Kongo" class.
