Mutton is sheep meat, , from lambs that have grown up a bit. It has a bit more taste than lamb, and of course there is more meat to eat. I used to eat mutton a lot. I was born in NZ.
There is also hogget, which is a lamb that is just over a year old. It tastes good too.
"Anybody know how this thing can be classified as a destroyer?"
Since WWI the main role of "the destroyer" has been to hunt subs. Maybe the Japs intend that for this ship. The flight deck could be for carrying anti-sub helos.
Its way to small to be used for conventional jets, and I don't think the JDF has any VSTOL fighters, and even if they did, it couldn't carry enough fighters to protect itself without US support
It may be their largest ship since WWII, but its only about 1/3 the size of a WWII carrier like the Hiryu.
They should start by using proper units. I know the USA is not metric, so they can use feet, miles and pounds, but football fields, states of delaware and volkswagens are not proper units. (and especially Library of Comgresses)

Solar panels come in many sizes,so how big is a full sized one? Big enough to cover the roof of your house? A football field?
Does the solar power industry have a standard definition of what full size is?

"You may want to read about nursing and the absence of ovulation."
Its just a myth thar women who are nursing don't get pregnant. I have seen quite a lot of pregnant nurses.
"Because you still believe that the earth is 3000 years old and god demanded monogamy."
I don't know anyone that believes the Earth is only 3000 years old, but I know a few who think 6000 to 10000 years
And monogamy is not mentioned in the old testament, many of those people had many wives.
No, Thanks In Advance ?

26th July is the anniversary of the day I got my first Amiga (Amiga 1000 in 1986)
The previous day (25th July) is the anniversary of when I got my first computer (Trash 80 in 1979) and my 2nd computer (Compucolor II in 1980)
So the mice thought they were supervising a computer program to find the ultimate question of Life the Universe and Everything
