I think you had better do a bit more research on Japan's Self Defense Forces. There is no first strike capability, not even in-air refueuling. All missiles are ground-to-air, strictly defensive. There are less than 300,000 Japanese IN TOTAL under arms, and they are not even "military" personnel, they are classified as "Special Civil Servants". If you want a good laugh, send them against NK in any way.
Edit: I would not call less than 200 total ships "an impressive naval capacity", but that's just me.
