First, wasn't the Yorktown involved in a "bumping" incident in the Black Sea with a Soviet ship?(in the early 80's) Second of all, aren't the Japanese going to build this system also? If so, how many do they plan on building, are any under construction? And last of all have any other Allies expressed interest in purchasing this system?
