So Hoppo is another treaty loophole in waiting and definitely not an aircraft carrier, because she's under 10,000 tons, like Rj.
And yes, that was why Rj was built...she's not an aircraft carrier. Aircraft carriers are 10,000 tons and over (under the original Washington Treaty. The London Treaty closed that loophole before Rj was finished).
It gets depressing really fast when you realize what sort of hut Hoppo has been living in until now by contemplating the first few frames.
Well, we don't know she lives there. She might just have been using some abandoned building as her HQ while she prepped for the infiltration. I mean, I'm assuming the Abyssals don't have a formal network of KGB-style safehouses in the cities where naval bases are. They don't seem organized enough for that. :)
As for the Aleutians etc., I've always been kind of amused that Hoppo is evidently meant to represent Dutch Harbor, Alaska, just because I used to watch Deadliest Catch. As a friend of mine put it when I brought that up,
"Meanwhile, 120 nautical miles southeast of Dutch, Hoppo-chan is back on the crab."

How do yu weigh an entire harbor though (Hoppo is the embodiment of Dutch Harbor.)?
