AZUR LANE: Reincarnated as JS Izumo.(Translate)

INTERROGATION [4]

Wales: Well, thanks to the lie detector, we were able to confirm that you're not hostile towards us.

Me: I'm surprised at how reliable this thing is. How can you be 100% sure it doesn't fail?

Wales: Two reasons. First: We always perform maintenance every 30 days. Second: This thing reads the mental cube of the kansen. The mental cube has always been the weak point of kansen, so it's the only thing that betrays you if you lie.

Me: Hmmm, I understand now.

Wales: What I don't understand is why you identified yourself as a destroyer when, at first glance, you appear to be a light aircraft carrier.

Me: Ahh, that... Let me explain... Outside of Japan, I'm known as a helicopter carrier, but within Japan, I'm recognized as a multipurpose destroyer or helicopter-carrying destroyer. That's why my designation is DDH-183 [DD= Destroyer] [H= Helicopter].

Wales: I still don't understand the reason why you are classified as a destroyer.

Me: The Japanese constitution prohibits having a military force and any type of offensive weapon. We can only possess a small armed group called JSDF. The navy of our country is named JMSDF, and we are limited to protecting our constitutional waters.

Wales: Wait a moment, if the constitution prohibits the use of offensive weapons, how can you defend yourselves?

Me: In my world, there are offensive weapons and defensive weapons. Offensive weapons are those that can be used in preemptive attacks, while defensive weapons protect you from offensive weapons and also provide counterattack capability.

Offensive weapons include: Cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, nuclear weapons, CG cruisers, light aircraft carriers, aircraft carriers, nuclear attack submarines, chemical weapons, vacuum weapons, cluster munitions, super-heavy strategic bombers, and strategic-capable multipurpose fighters.

The rest not listed here can be considered defensive weapons.

Wales: Your situation is a bit complicated. To avoid complications, you will be classified as a light aircraft carrier.

Me: Okay.

Wales: What aircraft do you use?

Me: Fifth-generation aircraft F-35D Lightning II.

Wales: F-35D? What aircraft are those?

Me: Can I bring a miniature version of it?

Wales: Ok.

At that moment, I summon an F-35 flying in its STOVL form. Wales is surprised to see an aircraft in such a peculiar shape that hovers over a single point.
