Call Me a Traditionalist.....

But when the helicopter carrying ships in the Japanese grow large enough that they could easily launch fixed wing aircraft, as is the case with the JASDF's plans for a new "helicopter destroyer," which, at 248 M (813 ft) and a displacement of 19½ thousand tons, it's an aircraft carrier.

By comparison, the Invincible Class CVLs that the UK deployed Harriers, normal detachment was 9, from during he Falklands campaign displaces about 17 thousand tons, and was 210m (689 ft) long.

The juxtaposition of the Japanese and aircraft carriers makes me vaguely uneasy.
