In sci.military.naval hcobb twisted the electrons to say:
Japan has not used them from carriers and the next Frog carrier (to
match the E-2D timeframe) won't be able to.

Seeing as how the French haven't decided if they're going to get a second
carrier yet[1] how can you be so sure that said carrier when/if it turns
up will not be compatiable with the E-2?
