Japan's First New Carrier Sight After Modification, F-35B ready to deploy

New Japanese aircraft carrier JS Izumo after modifications

Japan continues its efforts to convert the “JS Izumo” (DDH-183) and “JS Kaga” (DDH-184) ships, previously used as helicopter carriers, into “mini carriers” with a $28 million modernization to deploy F-35B fighters. In this context, the modifications made to the ship JS Izumo (DDH-183), which was converted to a "light aircraft carrier", are shown. Officially described as a "multipurpose destroyer", the Izumo is the flagship of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

China: What's that? An aircraft carrier?
Japan: Of course, no! It's our new international airport

[robharrisU]

Both Japan and UK are working on new air to air missile for F35b 🇬🇧🤝🇯🇵

[wiffy]

i'm very glad to see the Japanese Self Defense Force getting this capability. It adds another layer of flexibility in the pacific.

As a Japanese citizen, with the cooperation of the US Marine Corps, I am very happy that our Maritime Self-Defense Force's "JS escort ship Izumo=出雲" (DDH-183) succeeded in launching and arriving at the first F35 fighter after the war. I am deeply grateful. thank you!
I am deeply impressed that Japan has finally come to this point for the first time in 75 years. I can't rely on the US military forever without an aircraft carrier! Let's make it possible for us to manage it to some extent. It is based on the idea.
The "JS escort ship Kaga=加賀" (DDH-184) will also be improved so that it will be able to launch and land F35 fighters, such as heat-resistant specifications, by the same three years.

Can't wait for Japan to regain it's lost Navy.

[tgsgardenmaintenance]

Let's be honest, this vessel was never a destroyer! This refit makes perfect sense for Japan.

[seogcho]

I'm a South Korean and I welcome Japan rebuilding it's navy with aircraft carriers. Now, China is our common threat concerning it's unlimited armament and ambition to invade East Asia with it's might. UK burnt down Washington in 1850, but only in about six decades, US became UK's biggest ally to fight against their common enenemies. What's past is past. Bad Japan lost WWII and it now is a good member of democracy along with South Korea. International relationship has to be based off of the present and future matters.

Japan are capable of doing anything, they are true warriors.
