I think this is calling for a third JMSDF Izumo-class carrier "helicopter destroyer" to be built and named Zuikaku. Machine translation of the commentary is... iffy... but if you squint it could say "Zuikaku please? It would only cost 100 billion," which is not far off the unit cost of an Izumo in yen.
That's a riff on the modern JMSDF uniform she's wearing, anyway, and that silhouette looks a lot more like an Izumo than a Shōkaku.

Machine translation is right in this case. (This one is fairly straightforward to translate, though.)
