The sun rises again: Japan shows off the awesome might of its re-emerging naval power with new colossal helicopter carrier - its biggest warship since WWII
Japan's navy has officially taken control of biggest warship the country has owned since the Second World War
The Izumo, a 250m aircraft carrier, is as big as the Imperial Navy carriers that battled the U.S. in the Pacific
It has a crew of 470 sailors and is symbolic of how pacifist Japan is expanding its overseas military capabilities
