How many F35 does wasp carry? how effective? is it carry few F-35 for demonstration purpose?
at least 16
I dont say hyuga cannot carry F35 at all. I believe if only 1 or 2 F35 STOVL hyuga can carry, but at least it need modification with the coating on the deck.
hyuga again, it should be Izumo ( 10-12 F-35 ) or better USS Wasp
For once, twice or third time take off maybe safe for the deck, but for frequently take off the deck could be damaged. Also the lift in izumo cannot handle F-35.
how you know lift in Izumo can't handle F-35 ?
Do not equate Izumo with wasp, each may have different design. Or maybe wasp has been severely modified in order to fit becoming a/c carrier.
It's piece of cake to deploy F-35 onto Izumo, because they were designed for F-35.
And here are the Chinese Air Force which all have BVR capable and less that 15 years!
SU-MK2 24
SU-MK2 76
J10A 240
J-11B 120
J-11A 105
27SK 76
Tell us how many of those could engage the air combat in Okinawa ?
India, Russia, Taiwan, USA ... and Vietnam could
The 22DDH could possibly use the F-35B carrier-based aircraft, and so might be considered as a light aircraft carrier. First, it is necessary to meet thermal performance of the deck, the condition of the weight of the aircraft carrier take-off and landing is light. Since laying an enhanced deck is possible, the thermal performance of the deck would not be a problem for Japan. The maximum take-off weight of the F-35B will reach 27 tons, but for take-off and landing of large carrier-based aircraft, this is also not an issue. The 22DDH could possibly accomodate 12 or more F-35B carrier-based aircraft. The F-35B fighter has a vertical takeoff and landing capability, so that even though the 22DDH is not equipped with a catapult, there is no problem operating the F-35B with flat deck withouth a ski-jump. The new "22DDH" is larger medium-sized regular aircraft carriers of the former Imperial Navy that attacked Pearl Harbor.
