read carefully the last paragraph: this means that JMSDF will return to
her ancient denomination of IJN.

It doesn't mention "IJN".

You could have a full fledged Japanese Navy that was not symbolically an instrument of the emperor's will.

Capabilities are much more important than names.

Watch for a Japanese F-35B order to be approved by Bush before he leaves office.
