Why use the rising sun flag on the destroyer? I though that flag was meant for the Imperial Japanese navy.

Beautiful ship! Welcome to New York, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force! Please come ashore and have hamburgers, hot dogs and Kentucky bourbon. Enjoy! The flag is the flag of the JMSDF.

Nice ship bro. I love the exotic names the Japanese give their ships.

I wouldn't trust them. You don't know what Nihonjin son is planning.

The Japan Maritime Self Defense Force [Kaijo Jeitai] is the Legacy of the Imperial Japanese Navy [Nihon Kaigun Kantai].

It is continuity. Yes, the Rising Sun Emblem is still used by the JMSDF...!

Japanese ships have pretty odd names. Why don't you people name them with names such as courageous, intrepid etc., ?

Odd to which view? These names are quite poetic in Japanese.
