On CNN I just saw where an agreement has been reached between the US an
Japan that will allow basing of a Nuke carrier there.

As we are running out of conventional powered carriers, this means we will
still be able to have a carrier based there in the future. I wonder how long
before they will allow subs, and other nuke powered ships to be based there
as well?
