    Should be mentioned that Japan has a long history building flying boats. The WW2 era Kawanishi H8K (nicknamed 'Emily' by the Allies) was four engine flying boat that looks rather similar to the much more modern ShinMaywa US-2. One role for these not mentioned but could see very useful would be in woodland fire-fighting. With a long endurance and able to carry 15 tons of water make them a very effective platform in that regard. One of the most important keys in fighting wildfires is to put them out before they spread. Using a US-2 first to patrol dry areas to scout for new fires then be able to go to a nearby (suitable) body of water to scoop some out and return to dump load(s) would be an extremely helpful tool for almost any country including (specifically) the US Forest Service. Interesting that the business of fighting forest fires in the US has largely moved from a government to the private domain.

    A flying boat development in Japan after WWii was originated from Shinmeiwa's prototype flying boat commissioned by Grumman.
    Shinmeiwa continued the development, developed US-1 and its successor US-2.
    Since Japan banned exports of weapons and joint development of weapons with a foreign partner in 1970's, Japan was unable to export this.

    The US2 could augment USMC operations; it would find uses in the USCG, and prove a valuable asset for maritime drug interdiction. Keeping in mind logistics, repairs/service maybe our military could work with hs Japanese manufacturers of the US2 to develop some multirole parts that could be used to maintain other aircraft currently in service. If we were to purchase maybe 200 of these aircraft, the per unit price would most likely go down

      ​@@Nerval-kg9sm Checked and you are correct. Wikipedia listed the efficiency of current methods as ~9 liters of water and ~50 kWh of electricity is required to produce 1 kg of hydrogen. Rate of hydrogen production would be to low to be practical for refilling the hydrogen tank system needed to feed 4 hydrogen fueled turboprops. DoE test bed hydrogen semi used an 80kg (700 bar) tank system. Sure the Shinwa would need something considerably bigger. Would take too long to fuel to be practical.
