Kapitain, your source has more info than I found. Here is the sight I looked at: http://www.royal-navy.mod.uk/static/pages/2204.html

The 25 patrol craft on your list, I might find suspect as the site above lists 18 unarmed "Fast Training Boats". If so, I'd probably discount the "patrol craft" on your list bringing the number of vessels between the two nations closer to parity.

However, I do not mean to say that Japan's Navy is on parity with that of the Royal Navy, as you mentioned, Japan does not have even one aircraft carrier.

I couldn't find a good source on Japan's ships including their own website. Jane's is all paid subscription. CIA Factbook wasn't helpful. What I'm getting at is what was your source for the info? I'd like to be able to look at this info in more detail on other nation's navies.

Thanks

i got the source from i cant remember when i return from my interview today il post up the link.

the unarmed patrol craft as you put it yes they are unarmed but in time of war or if the need arrises they can be armed counting them as patrol craft.

nearest the japanease have to a aircraft carrier is the osumi LPD i suppose it could carry one or two harriers but i doubt it its more like HMS ocean than anything.
