Lots of eye make-up, and some rather odd hip padding which became a little uncomfortable by the end of the session
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's JS Shimokita (LST 4002) sits at anchor off Koror, Palau, during Pacific Partnership 2016. The Pacific Partnership team, made up of service members and civilians from Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, worked with civilian and military leadership to conduct cooperative health engagements, subject matter expert exchanges in nursing and pharmacy, and civil-engineering projects, all focused on improving partner nations' collective ability to respond to a variety of natural disasters. While Shimokita was in Palau, USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) and the rest of the Pacific Partnership 2016 team made a mission stop in Malaysia. (JMSDF photo)
During the Cold War, the new Japanese Naval Self-defense Force built a series of large destroyers (Haruna and Shirane classes) which featured large hangars on the rear for up to three locally build Sea King Helicopters. Back then, protect Japan´s naval routes from hostile Soviet or Chinese submarines were the main mission of the JMSDF.
Although very capable and effective, these large destroyers could only take to sea a small number of Helicopters (3) when compared to a regular Aircraft-carrier which reduced their combat potential. Proposals for a true Anti-submarine Helicopter carrier were made but refused.
However, with the end of the Cold War and the recent increased in size of the Chinese Navy, (and since Helicopters continued to prove to be the best ASW weapon for a ship), a decision was made to develop a much larger anti-submarine ship.
However, this would lead to a series of political problems.

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF)'s Hatakaze-class guided-missile destroyer JS Hatakaze (DDG-171) is moored at Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan, June 8, 2019.
The ship was opened to the public at Yokosuka Naval Base on June 8 and 9, 2019, during the Yokosuka YY Vehicle Festa 2019.
YY (Wai Wai) is a Japanese onomatopoeia. The meaning of Wai Wai is fun and noisy.
There are homes that you can bounce then there's this...
Ultra dark ceilings and floor.
4 direct SB's with a ambient blend. Real fire.
I built this ages ago and wanted to re-upload it so everyone can enjoy it. Its based off of the STA-14 obviously, but not exactly accurate.
Highland Omnibuses 62 seat Leopard L252P, originally Fife FPE153StA, parked at the Elgol terminus of the Friday afternoon school contract from Portree High School, before returning to it's dormitory at Broadford, outside the primary school near to where it's driver John Taylor lived.
A modular marksman rifle, capable of chambering multiple calibers, such as 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, 7.62x39mm, 7.62x45 or 6.8mm SPC.
A combination of the ACR and SCAR receivers was the inspiration for this design. I wanted a sleek extended lower RIS. I think it looks good. If you think it'd be week, just imagine its made of titanium. Problem solved. :P
