Скачать или смотреть Why Japan’s Izumo-Class Is Becoming What Australia’s Canberra-Class Never Was

Japan and Australia both operate ships that look like light aircraft carriers, but their missions and capabilities could not be more different. Japan’s Izumo-class, originally labeled as “helicopter destroyers,” is being converted to operate F-35B stealth fighters, signaling Tokyo’s return to sea-based air power. Australia’s Canberra-class, by contrast, was designed for amphibious operations—perfect for deploying troops and helicopters, but never fitted for fixed-wing jets.

This video dives into the history, current capabilities, and future roles of Izumo and Canberra, showing how these two nations have chosen diverging paths at sea. More importantly, we explore how Japan’s new carrier capability and Australia’s amphibious strength could complement each other in the Indo-Pacific, especially as tensions with China rise.

Support the channel with your comments and insights: if you were in charge of Australian defense, would you put F-35Bs on Canberra or keep it as an amphibious assault ship? Your thoughts will shape the debate.
