GREAT pictorial documentation of the Hyuga class!
Nice sized hangar:
Just wish the elevators were at the side of the deck intstead of smack in the middle of it!
These vessels have GREAT sensors and C4:
Nice mess halls:
Loved the pics of the bridge:
Just nice DDH carriers:

Very nicely appointed ship. She does look deserted..
My observation
1) The crew is to small. only 360.. This would be a great factor as far s damage control is concerned and future ablity to handle more aircraft..
2) Why is that Phalanx CIWS on the bow and not on a sponson?
3) As Jeff stated those elevators would be better placed along the deck edge.
I just can't imagine being on a ship that size with such a small crew. Who cleans it? Nor enough sailors for a proper field day.
Field Day - To scrub or otherwise clean a ship's spaces...all of them.

wonder what are you going to say about
Displacement: 70,600 tonnes
Complement: 679 crew, not including air element;
Watch this video:
.Oh man...on March 18, 2016, this pilot does a heck of a job and saved several lives (usually five personnel man this aircraft) and saved a VERY expensive aircraft (...like $175 million each) when the arresting cable on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower snapped as he landed.
Eight sailors suffered non-life threatening injuries on deck as they tried to get out of the way of the cable when it snapped, and the aircraft continues and goes off the end of the carrier.
But having applied full military thrust pulls up before plowing into the ocean.
The official Navy Report lauds the “phenomenal airmanship” by the Hawkeye’s pilot and crew. They train for these type of incidents, but when they occur, oft times it ends badly.
As reported by the Navy, the investigation found that Human error and improper maintenance were blamed for the mishap because maintenance personnel missed “critical steps” while working on an arresting gear engine.
The E-2 Hawkeye is the Navy’s all-weather, carrier-based tactical battle management airborne early warning, command and control aircraft. The E-2 is a twin engine, five crewmember, high-wing turboprop aircraft with a 24-foot diameter radar rotodome attached to the upper fuselage.

I do not think that the 360 shwon in most stats include the air compliment, or the Marines they carry on these ships.
If they carry the full compliment of 18 helos, how many would that entail popeye? Let's consider eight helos. In your experience working in helo squadrons aboard carriers, how many personnel would it tke to operate and maintain eight Seahawk type helos on such a vess3ek?
Also remember, they are also talking about a potential squadron of four Ospreys too.
...and they can carry up to 350 Marines except normally it is going to be something like 200.
So, altogether, when you add all of that up, in peace time you are probably at 700-800. If they maxedd out with Marines and 18 helos, your are probably closer to 1,000.
Different reasons coz in Asia things are different,in Western combattants more automated for save cost with more small crew as for all branchs personnal down since 1990 down, down and down ... increase a bit from Crimea.
In Asia you have Armies Cold War style, big, for give an idea many bases, units but despite that not a size comparable with NATO and URSS in 1980's by ex USSR have an enormous army much powerful than China now, no comparison.
And Asian combattants ofc are also modern, recent more automated as before but have crew more numerous, personnal is much less expensive in Asia in particular with conscripts, in Western Europe almost all Armies are professionalized now.
Can host 100 troops, Izumo 400, 16 helos vs 29 and Izumo have 2900 t fuel, water for replenished ships for about 4 max in fact, interesting.

not sure what you're implying FORBIN ... West smart, East stupid maybe? LOL
my question (directed at bd popeye in the context of the numbers for the Hyuga, but never mind) was
and let's wait and see how it works out for sooo smart QEs
