i mean, the reason why japan isn't allowed to have carriers is that it is considered an offensive weapon. Carriers are used to exert military power overseas, which is why USA has a whole bunch of them so she can deploy air power across the globe. Carriers are basically range extensions for a nations air power. You don't need to extend the range of your air power for defensive reasons, as land based airfields are far more efficient at doing this. I'm 100% sure that aircraft used by Japan has enough range to cover the entirety of Japanese waters to combat any foreign aggression. This is just another case of the worlds superpowers pretending not to see something. Helicopter carriers dont count, because they are considered to be mainly defensive. Modifying the carriers to be able to launch F35s is definitely a breach of article 9 in the Japanese constitution. Honestly, at this point they might as well just publicly renounce the clause that renounces Japan's rights belligerency. Then again, in 2014 Abe did pretty much tear up the provision in all but name so might as well go all the way.
@@jonsong4592 good explanation. Based on my understanding, Japan still need a aircraft carrier because when your enemy take offensive, u will go defensive only izit?

The "destroyer" designation is for pure political reasons. The Japanese constitution only allows a self defense force so calling it an aircraft carrier shows an aggressive stance. So what's in a name or in this case a designation? They can use the destroyer in whatever capacity or make whatever alterations to the ship and get by the Japanese Constitution. In the future they should build a real carrier on the 60K ton class, they are going to need against China and I bet they will still call it something else other than an Aircraft Carrier unless their constitution is change in this respect. WW2 is already 75 year old and Japanese politician should take a more aggressive position towards China which is only thing the Chinese Communist Party understands.

Greetings from Japan. Many people have a misconception about Japanese "destroyer", but the Japanese government and JMSDF do not classify these ships as destroyers. Almost all JMSDF naval combat ships are called "goeikan". This word literally means "escort ship" but the nuance is closer to "combat ship". However, for some reason, "Goeikan" is translated as ”destroyer” on English web like wikipedia. This is probably because the ship numbers of these are DD-XX. Indeed that Izumo class ships are also designated as DDH, In this case, however, the use of DD is only customary, and the Japanese government has NO intention of making its carrier ownership ambiguous to the international community. Because, Japan has no treaties with any countries that restrict the ownership or operation of aircraft carriers, unlike Russia.
@@power3480 The US needed Japan to be fully capable in case China decides to invade other countries hence they are arming Japan with proper tools of war. They also needed carriers in case Japan needs to defend Taiwan. I don't think you're up to date with current events
@John Smith you do realise that you've typed a load of ill-informed nonsense? Right? Ballistic missiles CANNOT be used to hit moving ships except through the tiniest of chances or through the use of nuclear warheads. Once they launch they cannot be re-targeted. All their target has to do is keep moving and the missile will miss. Anyone who pontificates about missiles like the DF-21 being a threat to naval vessels instantly reveals themselves to be utterly ignorant about all naval matters and instantly destroys the credibility of anything they say about the area.
@John Smith You do realize that ships have their own defenses against anti ship weapons along with escorts that are supposed to keep the ships safe right? Why do they even invest in carriers if they get sunk so easily? This is not world War 2 where carriers are vulnerable to attack. The only thing that still poses a threat are hyper missiles but the us are already developing weapons against it.
No doubts they will take a good look at the UK who are the worlds leaders when it comes to VTOL Naval operations , and for sure they will cross deck on their upcoming joint maritime exercises which will be a major first , and a new concept in the development.
When Japan decides to do something, they always go 100%. Looking forward to future military innovations from them now that they are bolstering their military.
@@marcovitali3833 Well technically, this is still not an aircraft carrier. Due to constitutional restrictions, almost all ships in the modern Japanese Navy are called "Goei-kan/護衛艦" (escort ships), not aircraft carriers or even destroyers. But, of course in reality, it's an aircraft carrier tho lol
Thus the Australian Navy is now actively looking at the QE. Why do you think the RN sent it to the Pacific? Sales works best in person. India is also looking at two of the QE modified to catapult operation.

Also, read last week that India now has 200,000 soldiers on their border with China.. France also sent a warship.
@Ryze Fafi you are wrong. USA WANTS japan to make their own carriers etc more and more now. Japan is one of the most important allies for USA now and if Japan strengthen their military forces as large as their GDP, Japan will be one of the most strong allies of USA. USA wants this to happen so much because China is rising now. but this will never happen because Japan don't want to spend money for their army. Japan don't need to strengthen their army as long as USA protects Japan. USA have to protect Japan under "Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security Between the United States and Japan". that is to say, USA have to protect Japan as long as USA have Japan as an ally.
America was actually in support of Japan acquiring carriers in 1952, 7 years after the war. The only thing stopping Japan was cost and internal restructuring of their armed forces
Also japan:hey im is the creator of aircraft carrirer if i never create aircraft carrier you will never have it! And you too china russia and every country with aircraft carrier
The prototype of the F-3 (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, IHI) fighter developed in Japan will be released around 2024, so please look forward to it. The engine used is a 15t class prototype engine (XF9-1) manufactured by IHI (Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries).
with the looming conflict on both sides it's great to see that the former axis powers are now on the same side with the one they fought before... i'm pretty sure they learned their lesson the hard way.
Can you imagine some day an allied attack force in the south chayna sea consisting of 2 British carriers, 2 Japanese, 2 Australian, 6 or 7 American, 1 Indian and 1 French? Would be quite a sight.
15 carrier battle groups whats that around 700 fighter jets? Add air to air refueling to the mix with jets out of Guam, Japan and Darwin and that number would rise to 1500 in the air at any one time over the SCS.
I'm Anti-China but this Carrier doesn't change any development of China's expansion, considering they have a lot of Long Range Anti-Ship Missiles from land to Submarines
Don't know what's so clever about a ship being designated a helicopter carrier... It's a standard description and class of military ship of a particular size, design and capability. The US for instance has a fleet of helicopter carriers... No angled decks, no fixed wing planes, only large numbers of helicopters to augment various amphibious capabilities. So, until the F-35B was considered to have very limited offensive military power and was seen mainly as support for amphibious operations. Conversion to a Lightning Carrier changes all that. Although its planes cannot carry the same payload as planes that launch from catapults, the F-35B still can carry a lot more weaponry than a helicopter and at great range (many hundreds of kilometers), all far beyond the capability of a similar sized ship that deploys only helicopters.
they already have destroyers, frigates and submarines, they really only need the izumo class to have f-35s and practically you have the asia naval equivalent of the UK
@@jameshailerthepostmaster4389 CCP only wants Taiwan，no one in Asia pose threat to JP，building ship like this is a waste of money unless JP wants to get rid of the armament restriction law in the future😏
F35-B is a real game changer for countries that can't afford supercarriers. Being able to STOVL without huge capability loss from A/C variants. Leaps and bounds above harriers. Countries with light carriers need to get their orders in now; America's military industrial complex will line its pockets
it has some major capability loss, less stealth, less range, this ship can never get close to deploy F35B against china because it would well within range of missile strike.
@@TelpPov No. A harrier is a major loss of capability. Having no naval aviation at all is a major loss of capability which is where Spain, Italy, Japan, Australia would be because they have no will to build aircraft carriers. Having F35Bs on a Helicopter Carrier is a humongous step up from having harriers on an LHD or conceding to have no naval aviation at all
@@PW060284 i was following ur topic of comparing with F-35 A/C Variants. Ur deviating from ur own topic by comparing with and without. Sure that's a big step up but only if you are coming up against countries without conventional carrier force.
@@TelpPov My point was that the F35B is a game changer and it is for every country with "no conventional carrier force" as you put it, because that's literally every country but the USA. I'm glad you agree with that point. If you want to nitpick on what constitutes a "major" capability loss from A/C variants, that's fine. We can agree to disagree. Whatever that loss is, it is a huge step up for most countries.
@@PW060284 that's not a nitpick, most agree that the stovl jet should been a standalone developed jet completely different from F-35A/C to have prevented so many of its short comings and budget overuns which this version single handily contributed to make the most expensive weapons program of all time. Also the B is not that useful against near pear adversaries such as China or Russia and also useless to bully other countries without conventional carrier force since they do not dare go against these Nato countries anyway.
An F-35-B capable light carrier is a tremendous naval asset. It provides tremendous mission flexibility and striking power in a smaller, more affordable package. Well done Japan.
I Love how easy this ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxvAj3godqGAIP5rApM1laH767JGtPG1-h carrier is to adjust from my friend to me taking turns holding the baby! It provides great support on my back too! This has definitely made shopping easier! I always get asked where I get it too!
If Japan does decide to go ahead and build a dedicated aircraft carrier for the F35C, I'd suggest that they build something in the size of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier it's basically a light carrier perfect for a small country like Japan and maybe also talk to other friendly country's (South Korea and Australia are the first 2 that come to mind) and see if they would be interested in buying one or two.
Japan is an aircraft carrier and so is Australia. Australia don't need a carrier because we don't project power. When we did have aircraft carriers the only thing they were good for were carrying troops and getting involved in accidents with other ships. They never did anything with aircraft.
By the looks of this, the US Navy is very much on board with this. I’m just going to say this as an American, we need Japan to be strong in the region and it’s time to move on from WW2. The punitive clauses imposed on Japan needs to be lifted if they are to be a bulwark against China, Russia and North Korea.
The F-35B is a HUGE step forward in aviation. Understand that most countries do not have a large enough carrier to launch fixed wing fighter jets and instead had to use helicopters or the Harrier II. Neither are good options against a modern air force. The F-35 turns light carriers like this into MUCH more formattable ship. It is even better when combined with the Osprey. This means the US will field 11 Ford/Nimitz and 11 America/Wasp class ships that will eventually be able to carry 512 or more F-35C 220 F-35B. The F-35 i not a replacement for the F-15 or F-22, but I think it is a great replacement for the Harrier II, F-16, F-18, and F/A-18 as well as likely the Growler. Add in 189 F-22, 140 new F-15EX (if not more), 280 upgrades A-10 as well as a whole arsenals of upgraded air o air, air to ship, air to ground missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles, and glide bombs to compliment these jets. The last 5 years and the next 5 years combined has more than doubled he strength o the US air force and navy and other advancements in defensive missiles and laser defense as well as upgrades and replacement ground vehicles, the US has made some incredible improvements in a very short time. By 2035 almost everything will have been upgraded or replaced.
I'm pretty sure the f-35B compliment is known to be 8-12 depending on loadout of other aircraft? It's essentially the same as a US Wasp class, and about half the modified Wasp, America class.
It’s been 76 years since the end of the war. We both trust, love, and forgive you Japan. Have at it and rebuild your military for god knows if there will be war in the pacific or not in the future 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
F-35b from small carriers seems to be the ticket. Italy has done this with Cavour. Britain uses them on the two QE class carriers. Others have similar plans.
I'm sorry but the Queen Elizabeth's are definitely the definition of not a small carrier, however the point still stands, a half dozen f-35Bs launching from each of a dozen small carriers and assault ships would be the definition of an overwhelming strike, They would make a nice first strike clearing out the enemy air and damaging enemy AA so that a second strike made up of F/A-18s with their much heavier payloads can deliver the hammer blow and wipe out the enemy Navy and land installations. A fantastic strategy, especially if we have the Valkyrie fighter drone launching B-1s by that point, just imagine a massive force of 100 of 35s each being escorted by a pair of Valkyrie drones.
@@anarchyandempires5452 The QE's are quite large, and certainly the largest of the F-35b designated platforms. Interesting role you explain for the F-35b's taking the lead for the super carriers to follow on.
@@donaldclifford5763 it only makes sense, F-35s have fairly limited payloads but have the most advanced stealth capabilities of any aircraft as well as fantastic Air dominance capabilities, they are second only to F-22s in their capacity to assassinate enemy air while remaining unseen, while their dog fighting capabilities are dubious at best this hardly matters if the enemy has no idea you are there until they get devoured by a swarm of AMRAAMs. Larger weapons like bombs and ASMs while usable by the F35 would immediately destroy it's stealth capabilities leaving it vulnerable to the enemy. The F/A-18 on the other hand, has absolutely no stealth capabilities, meaning that while it is a fantastic dog fighter more than capable of air supremacy, it would still be vulnerable to modern weapons, and so severe losses would be inevitable if it had to engage enemy Air, on the other hand the F/A-18 is capable of bringing a simply ridiculously Heavy Payload to any battle, including powerful standoff anti-ship missiles as well as radiation seeking missiles, and even precision guided munitions, meaning that so long as the hornets don't have to worry about enemy fighters literally anything a wing of them could meet they wouldn't immediately destroy. So yeah I believe the best way to fight a modern carrier battle is to send the f-35s first to destroy the enemy aircraft and then send in the hornets to destroy the enemy Navy, I want to punch of scalpels followed by warhammers.
@@anarchyandempires5452 The QEs are not small, however, they do not use catapults. Because of this, they would either need a lighter weight aircraft, or an aircraft that is svtol capable.
Japan:the time is back boys after 70+ years we are now here together again the gangs is back to the world! This time we wont loss we already learned lots of things from our loses! In ww2!
I just want to see Japan back in the carrier business full fledged. Angle deck , catapults & arresting gear. Built from the ground up not conversions. I'd like to see the whole deal F-35's, ASW, Hawkeyes , Electronic jammers & Greyhounds. The Chicom's & NK will really have something to think about . Beijing won't be talking smack like last week concerning Taiwan and Japan. They would have to show a hell of a lot more Respect. " Banzai"
Catapults and arrester cables are a century-old technology. Non-cat carriers can operate in worse weather, don't have to worry about cable and boiler failure, have the deck free to carry-out multi-mission capability, and don't have to strengthen the F-35 planes or use the much more expensive 'C' model. New technology allows for higher rates of plane recovery, require less crew, and can launch more planes at a time. With a ski-jump, the F-35 saves fuel, can carry more ordnance, and it is cheaper. The Japanese have their own abilities to tackle ASW, and AEW.
Glad the Japanese Navy is back to its former glory. And it's Made In Japan, so you know in terms of reliability is top notch compared to its other Asian neighbor's warships.

Carriers are used to exert military power overseas, which is why USA has a whole bunch of them so she can deploy air power across the globe. Carriers are basically range extensions for a nations air power. You don't need to extend the range of your air power for defensive reasons, as land based airfields are far more efficient at doing this. I'm 100% sure that aircraft used by Japan has enough range to cover the entirety of Japanese waters to combat any foreign aggression. This is just another case of the worlds superpowers pretending not to see something.
Helicopter carriers dont count, because they are considered to be mainly defensive. Modifying the carriers to be able to launch F35s is definitely a breach of article 9 in the Japanese constitution. Honestly, at this point they might as well just publicly renounce the clause that renounces Japan's rights belligerency. Then again, in 2014 Abe did pretty much tear up the provision in all but name so might as well go all the way.
@@jonsong4592 good explanation. Based on my understanding, Japan still need a aircraft carrier because when your enemy take offensive, u will go defensive only izit? The only way to stop them is when you are capable enough to go offensive also. I don't think Japan have any foreign threats now. Japan enemy is just beside them in South china sea.. 👍🏻

Let's be honest, this vessel was never a destroyer! This refit makes perfect sense for Japan.
The "destroyer" designation is for pure political reasons. The Japanese constitution only allows a self defense force so calling it an aircraft carrier shows an aggressive stance. So what's in a name or in this case a designation? They can use the destroyer in whatever capacity or make whatever alterations to the ship and get by the Japanese Constitution. In the future they should build a real carrier on the 60K ton class, they are going to need against China and I bet they will still call it something else other than an Aircraft Carrier unless their constitution is change in this respect. WW2 is already 75 year old and Japanese politician should take a more aggressive position towards China which is only thing the Chinese Communist Party understands.

Greetings from Japan.
Many people have a misconception about Japanese "destroyer", but the Japanese government and JMSDF do not classify these ships as destroyers.
Almost all JMSDF naval combat ships are called "goeikan". This word literally means "escort ship" but the nuance is closer to "combat ship".
However, for some reason, "Goeikan" is translated as ”destroyer” on English web like wikipedia. This is probably because the ship numbers of these are DD-XX.
Indeed that Izumo class ships are also designated as DDH, In this case, however, the use of DD is only customary, and the Japanese government has NO intention of making its carrier ownership ambiguous to the international community. Because, Japan has no treaties with any countries that restrict the ownership or operation of aircraft carriers, unlike Russia.
Outfitted with a full complement of F-35s, each Japanese carrier is more powerful than either cf China’s current carriers. And it’s not even close.
@@ericvosselmans5657 not really, america is fine with their 11 super carriers with two more on the way

@John Smith you do realise that you've typed a load of ill-informed nonsense? Right? Ballistic missiles CANNOT be used to hit moving ships except through the tiniest of chances or through the use of nuclear warheads. Once they launch they cannot be re-targeted. All their target has to do is keep moving and the missile will miss.
Anyone who pontificates about missiles like the DF-21 being a threat to naval vessels instantly reveals themselves to be utterly ignorant about all naval matters and instantly destroys the credibility of anything they say about the area.
@John Smith You do realize that ships have their own defenses against anti ship weapons along with escorts that are supposed to keep the ships safe right? Why do they even invest in carriers if they get sunk so easily? This is not world War 2 where carriers are vulnerable to attack. The only thing that still poses a threat are hyper missiles but the us are already developing weapons against it.
@John Smith ballistic missiles at mach 25? Lol now you're tripping dude, I'm not debating with crazy

you are wrong. USA WANTS japan to make their own carriers etc more and more now. Japan is one of the most important allies for USA now and if Japan strengthen their military forces as large as their GDP, Japan will be one of the most strong allies of USA. USA wants this to happen so much because China is rising now. but this will never happen because Japan don't want to spend money for their army. Japan don't need to strengthen their army as long as USA protects Japan. USA have to protect Japan under "Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security Between the United States and Japan". that is to say, USA have to protect Japan as long as USA have Japan as an ally.
America was actually in support of Japan acquiring carriers in 1952, 7 years after the war. The only thing stopping Japan was cost and internal restructuring of their armed forces
Also japan:hey im is the creator of aircraft carrirer if i never create aircraft carrier you will never have it! And you too china russia and every country with aircraft carrier

with the looming conflict on both sides it's great to see that the former axis powers are now on the same side with the one they fought before... i'm pretty sure they learned their lesson the hard way.
Can you imagine some day an allied attack force in the south chayna sea consisting of 2 British carriers, 2 Japanese, 2 Australian, 6 or 7 American, 1 Indian and 1 French? Would be quite a sight.
15 carrier battle groups whats that around 700 fighter jets? Add air to air refueling to the mix with jets out of Guam, Japan and Darwin and that number would rise to 1500 in the air at any one time over the SCS.

*Excellent job by Japan to indegously developing Aircraft Carriers*
very clever of Japan announcing to the world that it is a helicopter carrier and now, converting it to a fulltime Aircraft Carrier..
Shhh it's just submarine hunter
not even that it was announced as a helicopter destroyer
Well, they have a history of violating certain naval treaties so don't be surprise.
Well, it's not a full-time aircraft carrier so...
Don't know what's so clever about a ship being designated a helicopter carrier...
It's a standard description and class of military ship of a particular size, design and capability.
The US for instance has a fleet of helicopter carriers... No angled decks, no fixed wing planes, only large numbers of helicopters to augment various amphibious capabilities. So, until the F-35B was considered to have very limited offensive military power and was seen mainly as support for amphibious operations.
Conversion to a Lightning Carrier changes all that. Although its planes cannot carry the same payload as planes that launch from catapults, the F-35B still can carry a lot more weaponry than a helicopter and at great range (many hundreds of kilometers), all far beyond the capability of a similar sized ship that deploys only helicopters.
I have to say this is my favourite carrier in the world. Beautiful machine. Also, small carriers are a great idea. More versatility, less risk.
Japan should get back in the business of building a real carrier Navy...
they already have destroyers, frigates and submarines, they really only need the izumo class to have f-35s and practically you have the asia naval equivalent of the UK

F35-B is a real game changer for countries that can't afford supercarriers. Being able to STOVL without huge capability loss from A/C variants. Leaps and bounds above harriers. Countries with light carriers need to get their orders in now; America's military industrial complex will line its pockets
it has some major capability loss, less stealth, less range, this ship can never get close to deploy F35B against china because it would well within range of missile strike.
@@TelpPov No. A harrier is a major loss of capability. Having no naval aviation at all is a major loss of capability which is where Spain, Italy, Japan, Australia would be because they have no will to build aircraft carriers. Having F35Bs on a Helicopter Carrier is a humongous step up from having harriers on an LHD or conceding to have no naval aviation at all
@@PW060284 i was following ur topic of comparing with F-35 A/C Variants. Ur deviating from ur own topic by comparing with and without. Sure that's a big step up but only if you are coming up against countries without conventional carrier force.
@@TelpPov My point was that the F35B is a game changer and it is for every country with "no conventional carrier force" as you put it, because that's literally every country but the USA. I'm glad you agree with that point. If you want to nitpick on what constitutes a "major" capability loss from A/C variants, that's fine. We can agree to disagree. Whatever that loss is, it is a huge step up for most countries.
@@PW060284 that's not a nitpick, most agree that the stovl jet should been a standalone developed jet completely different from F-35A/C to have prevented so many of its short comings and budget overuns which this version single handily contributed to make the most expensive weapons program of all time. Also the B is not that useful against near pear adversaries such as China or Russia and also useless to bully other countries without conventional carrier force since they do not dare go against these Nato countries anyway.

If Japan does decide to go ahead and build a dedicated aircraft carrier for the F35C, I'd suggest that they build something in the size of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier it's basically a light carrier perfect for a small country like Japan and maybe also talk to other friendly country's (South Korea and Australia are the first 2 that come to mind) and see if they would be interested in buying one or two.
Japan is an aircraft carrier and so is Australia. Australia don't need a carrier because we don't project power. When we did have aircraft carriers the only thing they were good for were carrying troops and getting involved in accidents with other ships. They never did anything with aircraft.

From India 🇮🇳
The F-35B is a HUGE step forward in aviation. Understand that most countries do not have a large enough carrier to launch fixed wing fighter jets and instead had to use helicopters or the Harrier II. Neither are good options against a modern air force. The F-35 turns light carriers like this into MUCH more formattable ship. It is even better when combined with the Osprey. This means the US will field 11 Ford/Nimitz and 11 America/Wasp class ships that will eventually be able to carry 512 or more F-35C 220 F-35B. The F-35 i not a replacement for the F-15 or F-22, but I think it is a great replacement for the Harrier II, F-16, F-18, and F/A-18 as well as likely the Growler. Add in 189 F-22, 140 new F-15EX (if not more), 280 upgrades A-10 as well as a whole arsenals of upgraded air o air, air to ship, air to ground missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles, and glide bombs to compliment these jets. The last 5 years and the next 5 years combined has more than doubled he strength o the US air force and navy and other advancements in defensive missiles and laser defense as well as upgrades and replacement ground vehicles, the US has made some incredible improvements in a very short time. By 2035 almost everything will have been upgraded or replaced.
I'm pretty sure the f-35B compliment is known to be 8-12 depending on loadout of other aircraft? It's essentially the same as a US Wasp class, and about half the modified Wasp, America class.

The Kaga... Now that's a name I haven't heard for a long time.
F-35b from small carriers seems to be the ticket. Italy has done this with Cavour. Britain uses them on the two QE class carriers. Others have similar plans.
I'm sorry but the Queen Elizabeth's are definitely the definition of not a small carrier, however the point still stands, a half dozen f-35Bs launching from each of a dozen small carriers and assault ships would be the definition of an overwhelming strike, They would make a nice first strike clearing out the enemy air and damaging enemy AA so that a second strike made up of F/A-18s with their much heavier payloads can deliver the hammer blow and wipe out the enemy Navy and land installations.
A fantastic strategy, especially if we have the Valkyrie fighter drone launching B-1s by that point, just imagine a massive force of 100 of 35s each being escorted by a pair of Valkyrie drones.
@@anarchyandempires5452 The QE's are quite large, and certainly the largest of the F-35b designated platforms. Interesting role you explain for the F-35b's taking the lead for the super carriers to follow on.
@@donaldclifford5763 it only makes sense, F-35s have fairly limited payloads but have the most advanced stealth capabilities of any aircraft as well as fantastic Air dominance capabilities, they are second only to F-22s in their capacity to assassinate enemy air while remaining unseen, while their dog fighting capabilities are dubious at best this hardly matters if the enemy has no idea you are there until they get devoured by a swarm of AMRAAMs.
Larger weapons like bombs and ASMs while usable by the F35 would immediately destroy it's stealth capabilities leaving it vulnerable to the enemy.
The F/A-18 on the other hand, has absolutely no stealth capabilities, meaning that while it is a fantastic dog fighter more than capable of air supremacy, it would still be vulnerable to modern weapons, and so severe losses would be inevitable if it had to engage enemy Air, on the other hand the F/A-18 is capable of bringing a simply ridiculously Heavy Payload to any battle, including powerful standoff anti-ship missiles as well as radiation seeking missiles, and even precision guided munitions, meaning that so long as the hornets don't have to worry about enemy fighters literally anything a wing of them could meet they wouldn't immediately destroy.
So yeah I believe the best way to fight a modern carrier battle is to send the f-35s first to destroy the enemy aircraft and then send in the hornets to destroy the enemy Navy, I want to punch of scalpels followed by warhammers.
@@anarchyandempires5452 The QEs are not small, however, they do not use catapults. Because of this, they would either need a lighter weight aircraft, or an aircraft that is svtol capable.

I just want to see Japan back in the carrier business full fledged. Angle deck , catapults & arresting gear. Built from the ground up not conversions.

Beijing won't be talking smack like last week concerning Taiwan and Japan. They would have to show a hell of a lot more Respect. " Banzai"
Catapults and arrester cables are a century-old technology. Non-cat carriers can operate in worse weather, don't have to worry about cable and boiler failure, have the deck free to carry-out multi-mission capability, and don't have to strengthen the F-35 planes or use the much more expensive 'C' model.
New technology allows for higher rates of plane recovery, require less crew, and can launch more planes at a time. With a ski-jump, the F-35 saves fuel, can carry more ordnance, and it is cheaper.
The Japanese have their own abilities to tackle ASW, and AEW.
