Japan's Navy Is Getting Aircraft Carriers and Stealth Fighters—and China Isn't Happy
Following Japan's surrendered during WWII Japan was allowed to build back up its military as a self-defense force without the ability to project power, such as having air craft carriers. That is all about to change:
Japan is getting back in the power projection business in a way it hasn’t been since 1945, but in the present time, Japanese naval forces will work in a combined effort with U.S. forces.
Later this month, U.S. Marine aviators flying stealthy F-35B strike jets will conduct flight operations from the deck of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force warship, JS Izumo.
As you can imagine, China is NOT happy, for obvious reasons.
