Just saw this - Japan is in the midst of upgrading JS Kaga, the second vessel of the Izumo class helicopter carrier. Upon completion of this upgrade, F35Bs will be able to take off and land on it.
Although the Izumo class are the largest vessels of JMSDF with a full load displacement of 27000 tons, it is only slightly larger than PLAN’s Type 71 and much smaller than Type 75s.
