#The Tateshina (θΌη§)-Class Light Aircraft Carrier
INTERNAL STATE RELEASE | Issued September, 2034 - 12:00 | Tokyo, Japan
While the Teshio-Class of ASW carriers have proven exemplary in service, they have without question shown some significant faults.

- Complement: 200 troops / equipment
- Crew: 560 including crew/helicopter wing
- Sensors and Processing Systems
- AN/SPY-3 Multi-Function Radar (MFR) X band Active Electronically scanned array
- AN/SPY-6 Volume Search Radar (VSR) S Band Active Electronically Scanned Array
- ATECS (Advanced Technology Command System - on current Izumos)

Role of the Tateshina-Class
While the Tateshina is completely built off the existing EsshΕ«-class vessels, it is doctrinally taking up the role of the Izumo/Teshio-class of vessels. As such, it's internal hangars have been expanded at the expense of any significant troop-carrying capability. At the same time, it's power is also now coming from the navalized [Fuji-Reactor](ht
