Well, according to Wikipedia, the JSDF uses the Minebea pistol in 9mm, which is a licensed built copy of the P-220. And it gets funny because the articles get somewhat circular in saying that the JSDF SOF guys use a P-220 in .45 but the article links to the main ground forces article stating that they use the licensed built Minebea in 9mm, which I guess technically could be construded as a 9mm P-220. However, the fellows that Clancy was referrenng to were the 1st Airborne Brigade, that falls under the purview of the JSDF SOF. So, go figure.

In an unrelated note, a P-220 in Super .38 would be pretty neat.

In regards to the carriers, I always thought the the proposed USS United States became the USS Harry S. Truman, resulting in the second killing of a USS United States by Harry Truman, atleast that what's our NSI told us in NJROTC when someone asked why a National Guard captain had a carrier named after him.
