I'm making a wild-assed guess that "(H)" means it's a helicoptor carrier? And that's the reason for the flat deck and the tower being off to the side?

Exactly, Steven, except it's not a carrier. The JMSDF is barred by the terms of surrender from WWII from ever operating aircraft carriers again. Which is why it's officially an "escort."
Kinda like the RN's Invincible-class carriers were called "through-deck cruisers" to sneak through budget committees.

I just found another picture of it. I bet you could operate Harriers off it. But then they really would be over the line.
