So japan could do the funniest thing rn
With what navy?
It's 2026 sir. Give them a Radioshack and time. Power is projected now by soft power and of smart your population is. Sadly we are working with complete deck of cards over here.
See, the problem there is that there are no more Radioshacks...

Yes it did. What do you think all those aircraft were launched from? They sure as Hell didn't fly all the way from the Japanese mainland (or whatever the closest Japanese land-based airfield was at the time)! They didn't have the range for it: aircraft with ocean-crossing range didn't start showing up until the Jet Age, after the war.
