Excellent video of the JS Izumo, DDH-183 launch from last August.

In addition, I received a pic from Japan this last weekend that supposedly shows the Izumo out on trials.
SamuraiBlue, has she reached a point where she has gone to sea for builders trials?
The forward Phalanx CIWS and SeaRaAM are both there...and there would be another of each on the stern sponsons. Looks good, but she was launched 6 months ago and I am not sure she would be ready for this yet.
