Very very smart, other countries should not meddle in US police you should choose your own leadership, and other countries should choose theirs, the idea that it’s a good idea to meddle in elections of other countries are a very bad idea, also big companies should stay out of politics and the media should deliver the news or every time they air be clear to the viewers that we are not even trying to be fair and honest we are partisan we support one sided how ever that is, the current propaganda which is not fully admitted are destroying the reputation of many media companies people are not all idiots
It is not the south china sea it is the Indo-Pacific. Please correct this for future use.

To be corrected, Kaga was not named to succeed the former aircraft carrier. In Japan, most major warships are named after their region. Kaga is part of present-day Ishikawa Prefecture, and is known for its magnificent old castle and fresh seafood dishes. Japan needs to protect its region and culture from China. We are honored to be allies and partners with the United States.🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸
Iraq used to be an American ally too, but we all know how that ended
That's right it was flailing attempted opportunism China who started complaining about naming of Japanese ships. They really loved the Izumo, and a few of the AEGIS destroyers; Chokai, Haguro, Kirishima, Kongo, Maya, and Myoko. which really function as cruisers when they were named. We should just bring up the Treaty of Shimonoseki every time they claim Senkakus and that they are STILL stealing gas and oil across the median line and that's why the need for the JMSDF expansion. Also Scripps or whoever this is should be reminded Izumo was commissioned in 2015 and Kaga in 2017 and the conversion was implemented a few years ago. F-35's have been embarked and operating for over a year and inter-operability has also been ongoing with US crew.
@@gendaminoru3195 Japan should build two more Izumos and call them Shokaku and Zuikaku. "What's wrong? We just thought "Soaring Crane" and "Lucky Crane" would be pretty names for our new destroyers."

as i know from all news in here only CCP and bunch leftist news is anyway criticized Japanese for build a aircraft carriers
Then why is it having to be refitted?
@@kenneth9874 That’s because since Japan’s article 9 doesn’t allow JSDF to have ANY kind of aggressive weapons like nukes/attack aircraft carriers/strategic bombers etc, JSDF wouldn’t be able to get a de-facto aircraft carrier with normal approach.
Thus, it should be sneaky like building a “helicopter carrier” so people and congress would accept, but make it big enough and have a flexible design to modify later into a light aircraft carrier.
But the article still says it’s forbidden to have an aircraft carrier so that’s why they keep calling it “helicopter destroyer” despite the fact it’s bigger than royal navy’s Invincible class aircraft carrier and can carry up to 28 jets and helos.
We welcome you Japan. Wounderful people and very kind.

It's ironic. The original "KAGA" led the strike team on Pearl Harbor. 83 years later, she finally reaches American shores. Irony aside, it's good to see Japan building up. We need a competent ally in the Pacific. Other than Australia and Taiwan, there isn't another ally in the Pacific with any muscle at all, nor are they trustworthy.
You forgot South Korea
South Korea is USA's biggest ally of all Pacific nations. At one point, the S. Koreans had the second biggest army in Vietnam War to assist the USA with over 400,000 troops fighting along side the Americans. The S. Koreans are way more loyal than Japan since Japan refused to lend troops during most of modern US conflicts unlike the S. Koreans who never backed down from assisting America.
It was the Akagi that led the strike force, the Kaga was one of the carriers in the same strike force. It is ironic that a ship name Kaga would visit the United States!
@@Nesstor01
That’s not accurate,, SKorea was not burdened with a constitution that prohibited offensive aggression unless it was part of homeland defense.. article 9.. went into effect in 1947 post ww2 for Japan,, The US utilized many military facilities including air and sea combat facilities even during the Korean War..I’ve been to Japan many times,, have found them to be loyal, friendly and supportive of American policy including strong economic ties ,, I would not differentiate
between the two countries,, I know S Korea as well. They are great Allies both economically and militarily and their loss of 5k KIA in Vietnam is a tribute to this.. they also restarted economic ties with Japan post ww2 after Japan dismantled their country..
One is not more loyal than the other,
Both are outstanding countries and have contributed heavily in the furtherance of Global economic activities..

Uh oh
2 nations that fought against each other now are friends. I hope we'd be friends from now on. God bless Japan, God, bless America.
Amen.
Friends is a bit of a stretch. Japan has only been allowed to have a defense force since the end of WW2. The US has been responsible for their protection since.
*Simply
Edit. Editing because I know someone is likely to try to "call me out" even though my comment was put "simply" for simple minded folks. The US wasn't obligated from the end of WW2 until currently to defend Japan. The responsibility to defend Japan didn't start until the agreement/treaty/whatever was ratified/amended years (10?) after the end of ww2.
I'm going from memory. If you want to learn more about it do some research. It's pretty interesting and like most things a simple summary in the comment section on UA-cam isn't going to cover everything.
@@jonyemmWell, although the Japanese right wing have been trying to overturn the pacifist constitution for decades, they’ve never actually got round to it. Thank God.
@@jonyemm We are absolutely friends, economically and militarily. They them selves haven't decided if they want to re-arm. We would like it at this point but we should respect their decisions.
@@lubu4u312 considering 2 countries as being friends is elementary. We are certainly allies are "friendly". But "friends"...
It's not far off from calling a kidnapper and their victim friend just because the victim suffers from Stockholm syndrome. (First example that comes to mind)
Japan didn't have much choice after WW2 other than to do away with the vast majority of their armed forces (only allowed to have a defense force). The US, knowing that without protection Japan would fall to another powerful country, agreed to defend Japan.
That "relationship" is not a friendship. It's a result of war and America looking out for their own interest. Many in Japan certainly do want to rebuild their armed forces. They would not be designing and constructing "specific purpose vehicles" (or whatever term they are using), commonly known as tanks, if they did not want to rebuild their armed forces.
"We would like it but should respect their decisions" is the wrong way of looking at it when it comes to the subject. If Japan really wants this to be a friendship then they should up their armed forces spending(and such)(which they did) to an extent capable of no longer needing protection from the US and relieving the US of their responsibility to defend Japan. Both countries should then mutually agree to defend each other, and of course follow through with such. Until that happens it isn't a friendship.
Last quick thought as to why I say it isn't a friendship... NATO. just because countries are a member of NATO that doesn't mean they are all friends.
*Because most people lack comprehension skills and let their emotions interfere... I'm not saying that I disagree with the post war decisions nor am I saying that Japan and the US are enemies of adversaries. Calling it a friendship is just childish because it is way more complex than that.

Japan has always been an innovator. This new ship is how carriers should be built. They are smaller than our carriers and also much quicker to build. This is the direction our Navy will go because super carriers take almost a decade to build which is unacceptable during a war. By building smaller carriers it spreads out out so if one gets sunk there are many more left. We did this during WWII and it’s an effective strategy.
They don't have near the capability of a fleet carrier...

What a difference 79 years make. Today, Japan is a stable representative democracy with an impressive economy and a pacifist streak that runs through its culture. Japan is not re-arming because its wants to conquer its neighbors and take their resources; it is re-arming because Japan sees a genuine threat to its own security -- and that of its Asian neighbors -- from the People's Republic of China (i.e., "Communist China") and its massive military buildup and aggressive actions towards its neighbors. American treaty allies like Australia, Japan, South Korea and even the Philippines are strengthening their military forces in response -- and this is exactly the reply that China needs to hear and see. America-friendly India is likewise reinforcing its naval, air and land forces. Chinese aggression is being met with increasing strength, so play nice!

@@josephshields2922 The United States has acted as the "intternational policeman" in world affairs since the Second World War, often protecting weak nations from predators.

Thanks Japan we need your help guys.
Named after one of the greatest Japanese aircraft carrier during WW2
Stand firm with Japan.
The JS Kaga is an impressive carrier.
Japan is also now working on building the world’s two largest aircraft carriers, significantly larger than the JS Kaga
I'm sorry but since when Japan was planning on building more aircraft carriers?
@@Dark-rc7rd The TWO Izumo class helicopter carriers are modified into aircraft carriers. The Japanese are then leaning on the USA's knowledge and experience in operating carriers to evaluate the modified JS Kaga for appropriateness. Japan's constitution prohibits certain types of construction such as strictly attack equipment. It must be used for defense. Thus Japan will not be building attack carriers such as what China and the USA has. The problem with Japan is that it has a shortage of runways. It is expected that all runways will be cratered by the Chinese in a conflict, so short takeoff F-35B are essential fighters. That is the major reason behind Japan's shift from strictly helicopter carriers to having a carrier that can also support the F-35B fighter.
Until the changes of design are finalized and approved, it wouldn't be economically prudent to build more dedicated aircraft carriers. The Izumo changes should firrst be evaluated, tested, and validated with USA cooperation before Japan simply rushes out to build more carriers.
I hope they are building the SDF-1
The Izumo class are not the biggest in the world, don't tell lies. That's what scumbags do.
Glad Japan is on our side!!! 🫡🙏🙏
Go Japan! JP US!
From Japan, I sincerely appreciate the cooperative and tolerant attitude of the American people toward Japan. Let us understand the past mistakes of both sides and now join hands as allies!

WELCOME JAPAN!!!
No no no, it’s not a carrier. It’s an absurdly large destroyer that happens to have flat deck and happen to be made of materials that can survive the heat from F-35 vertical takeoff. It’s not a carrier.
-Average Japanese self defense force official
Hey, if Russia can call its carriers “cruisers”, then Japan can call its own “destroyers”.
Did you forget german found bug too in Treaty of Versailles?,this is fishing boat not warship same like this,this is destroyer not aircraft carrier or Helicopters carrier.
And can be converted to aircraft carrier if urgent
It just distracts China into thinking it's an ordinary destroyer
But its ok for Camouflage
Imagine you're an oldster of 99 years and a veteran of the Pearl Harbour attack now living peaceful in San Diego. Then, one morning you go fishing at the pier and this Japanese carrier appears suddenly from out of the fog ...
Japan invaded Manchuria in September of 1931.

Not joking.
Japan always wanted to be with the US. Japan helped the US in World War I. But the the Allies countries (US, UK, etc) blew them off after WWI and Japan felt betrayed. So, Japan turned dark for WWII. Now, Japan is back with the US. Welcome back!
OH YEAH JAPAN IS BACK BABY👹👹👹👹😮😮😮😮😁😁😁😁❤❤❤❤
Australia used to operate two Aircraft Carriers but like most western countries its military has atrophied and today has two Helicopter Carriers. Ours are unsuitable for conversion as they only have one large rear lift for movement for larger aircraft and one medium sized lift for attack helicopters and medium lift helicopters. Australia needs also to ‘lift its game’ and have two small/medium Carriers. This Japanese example might just fit the bill!
It is not beyond the realms of possibility as Australia is looking closely at the Mogami Class frigate as a contender for the eleven ship multipurpose frigate contract ( to complement the new build larger Hunter Class.
If not mistaken Aus will get a few SSN's and a couple hundred tomahawks, along with a bunch of the usual conventional arms. Island hopping with those containerized tomahawks is what keeps Xi up at night. Japan got a bunch too.
Australian politicians only care about human rights and environment. Less expectation from them.
@@gutstompenrocker yes, the plan is for Australia to have a total of eight SNNs ( the first three Virginia Class and the rest AUKUS design. The tomahawks to be a mix of anti ship variants and land attack, but it will literally take decades to get the full fleet of subs.
I find it funny how the reporter keeps calling it ‘Aircraft carrier’ Meanwhile Japan classifies it as a Helicopter Destroyer even gave it a hull classification of DDH 😂
Japan's constitution Article 9,
prohibits it from having offensive weapons like aircraft carriers after WW2. With the F35, Kaga is an aircraft carrier but officially labeled helicopter destroyer to avoid evoking past wartime memories. Weird but this is a misnomer.
@@teddygonzalez8098that's because at least half of the Japanese population wants to be pacifists and don't want to involve themselves in past war aggressions. They believe in the path of the imperialist descendants currently serving in their governments.
