That's about right. As mentioned in another thread here where I've discussed the thinking behind the Constitution at length, a lot of it boils down to
interpretation.

The current JSDF is capable of "offensive actions", and has lots of "capability" and "weapons", therefore is already in violation
of a (very) strict reading of the constitution.
Since what they now have is being accepted, very little (if anything) else is prohibited... at least by the constitution. There are, however several national laws that restrict operational locations and types, but these are far easier to change. |

Ocean in support of the USN, that must have been abolished, or exemptions authorised.

its in the USA's interest for Japan to get in the carrier game- a strong Japan will help counter china in 20years time.
