What is the concept of a quasi aircraft carrier in Japan?

First, the Hyuga is a *** aircraft carrier, which can carry 11-13 ***. But at the moment it cannot carry such a fighter as the F35B. As a *** aircraft carrier, there is actually no need to make a fuss about it.

Second, the Hyuga is a replacement for the aging Shirane-class as an anti-submarine carrier and flagship of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. The two ships of the Shirane class and the two ships of the Haruna class are really aging, they are the ** of the 70s and 80s, and they have been in service for a long time in the Japanese Navy. Substitution is also reasonable.

Thirdly, there are only two ships in the Hyuga class, 181 and 182. No. 181 was put into service, No. 182 is still under construction. But Japan has two other aircraft carrier plans, and that's the key, this Hyuga is not important, the important one is later. The exact plan will not be announced until the following year.

Overall, the Hyuga is a landmark for the Japanese Navy**, but its service does not change the nature of the Japanese Navy. Nor will it pose much of a challenge to neighboring countries. The combat effectiveness of the Hyuga should not be exaggerated.

A small *** aircraft carrier. The Japanese destroyer "Hyuga" of the aircraft carrier can take off and land 4 *** at the same time, and 11 *** can be parked on the wide deck, which has the performance of an aircraft carrier.

The equivalent of an aircraft carrier corvette.

Japan's quasi-aircraft carrier is a kind of ship that looks like an aircraft carrier, but in fact it is impossible to have the capability of an aircraft carrier.

First of all, the Hyuga and Izumo classes, the Hyuga is only able to take off and land 4 *** aircraft at the same time, carrying 11 aircraft. And the hangar is also not capable of repairing and maintaining fighters. Although the Izumo-class is said to be an aircraft carrier, it cannot take off and land the F-35C due to the short overtime, and if the F-35B is carried, the deck cannot withstand the long-term scorching of hot gases, so it cannot form combat effectiveness.

Second, some people think that Japan can put the F-35 on those ships with a simple modification. It's actually impractical. Because these ship modifications involve major actions in the hull structure, such as changing the elevator must rearrange the cabin, changing the deck must resurface the deck, and adding the flight inclination is to redo the bow.

The price is basically better than making a new ship.

Of course, it is very cost-effective for Japan to build these ships and accumulate technical reserves and experience. This may be what Japan really intends to do. So we must speed up the construction of the Chinese navy and prepare for Japan's aggressive naval offensive.

The term quasi-aircraft carrier is inaccurate, with a straight deck, with the characteristics of an aircraft carrier, but not yet a real aircraft carrier can be called a quasi-aircraft carrier. Quasi-aircraft carriers can be converted into aircraft carriers at any time if desired.

At present, Japan already has 6 large surface ships that can be called quasi-aircraft carriers, they are: 3 "Osumi" class transport landing ships, "Omi" and "Mashu" large supply ships, and "Hyuga" *** aircraft carrier (Japan calls it a destroyer).

After World War II, Japan, as a defeated country, gave up its offensive **, and aircraft carriers were naturally also prohibited. However, after the Cold War, in the name of developing large transport ships and frigates, Japan embarked on the road of substantially owning aircraft carriers. These quasi-aircraft carriers can be quickly converted into aircraft carriers in wartime.

In terms of the hull form of the quasi-aircraft carrier, it is distinguished by 2 Hyuga-class destroyers, 2 Izumo-class destroyers, and 3 Osumi-class landing ships.

Distinguished by the names of the quasi-aircraft carriers: "Omi", "Mashu", "Hyuga", "Invincible", "Izumo", "Osumi", "United".

The Hyuga-class destroyer has a complete take-off and landing capability, excellent combat performance, and is a first-class aircraft carrier, while the Izumo-class destroyer has the ability to land operations, with a full load displacement of more than 20,000 tons, as for the Osumi-class landing ship, the deck adopts an all-through structure, and the appearance is very similar to the aircraft carrier, and it has great potential for transformation, and can be transformed into a light aircraft carrier at any time.

The reason why these can be called quasi-aircraft carriers is entirely due to the US F35 and the highest vertical take-off and landing capabilities:

Japan's seven "quasi-aircraft carriers" will be equipped with the United States' F-35 advanced fighters, this fighter has a certain supersonic cruise capability, can perform multi-line missions, combat effectiveness is very strong, Japan wants to use the power of F-35 fighters, let the Izumo-class destroyer become a "light aircraft carrier" in the true sense.

Of course, Japan itself cannot build large offensive **, including aircraft carriers, but they are very good at intervening and have built a lot of large **, which can be transformed into light aircraft carriers when necessary.

The two large supply ships clearly have an aircraft carrier inclination. In March 2005, the large supply ship Omi, with a displacement of 10,000 tons, was officially commissioned and deployed at the Sasebo Naval Base in Nagasaki Prefecture.

Another supply ship of the same class, the Moshu, was commissioned in the spring of 2004 and is now based at Maizuru Naval Base. These two large supply ships have the performance of quasi-aircraft carriers. If it carries a fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft, it is a light aircraft carrier.

Three Osumi-class transport landing ships can also be converted into aircraft carriers. The "Osumi" can be equipped with a skid flight deck, and the space below the deck can be converted into a hangar, and if necessary, it can also be equipped with command and control navigation and other related equipment for carrier-based aircraft. It can be converted into a light aircraft carrier at any time, if desired.

Japan's first giant destroyer, the Hyuga, which can be called the "first aircraft carrier", was launched at the shipyard of Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. in Ishikawajima, Yokohama. It is reported that this large destroyer numbered 16DDH has a total length of 197 meters and a displacement of 10,000 tons, making it the first Japanese destroyer with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and the construction cost reached 100 billion yen (about 100 million US dollars). In terms of the tonnage of the new ship, it is close to the "Invincible" aircraft carrier in active service in the United Kingdom; In terms of appearance, the "Hyuga" also resembles an aircraft carrier, which can carry up to 11 aircraft and can take off and land 3 aircraft at the same time, so it is also widely known as the "aircraft carrier" by the outside world.

The latest is the newly launched "Izumo"!

Seven in total!

Japan currently has four aircraft carriers, namely the Hyuga-class Hyuga-class and the Ise, the Izumo-class Izumo, and the Kaga (not in service during sea trials).

Two of the Izumo-class are 6,000 tons larger than the Hyuga class and have a full load displacement of 10,000 tons, making them the largest combat ships in the Sea of Japan. It is worth noting that the performance of the Izumo-class is excellent, and it has the full potential to be converted into a normal aircraft carrier.

The significance of aircraft carriers for the country.

In a sense, an aircraft carrier is a huge mobile airfield at sea that can be used for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land, so that the navy and air force are tightly tied together, and the close cooperation between the two is very important for achieving victory on the battlefield. It is important to know that the performance of countries with and without aircraft carriers when fighting at sea varies greatly.

Some people may think that even without aircraft carriers, relying on traditional warships can have strong attack power and still be able to fight. The battle can be fought, but it is difficult to say whether it can be won or how long it will take. Traditional warships are not the same level as aircraft carriers.

Whether in terms of reconnaissance or attack intensity, the aircraft carrier is far ahead, not to mention the huge strike range of the aircraft carrier. For comparison, the Burke-class destroyer of the United States can be said to be very advanced, but its naval guns can only reach 20 kilometers, and the combat radius is even more limited, even if it is equipped with the longest-range missile, the ideal can only reach 150 kilometers.

If it is replaced by an aircraft carrier, its own range can achieve 100 kilometers, and if it is combined with carrier-based aircraft, it can easily make the combat radius exceed 200 kilometers, adding up to more than 300 kilometers. From these data, we can find out how big the gap is between countries that have aircraft carriers and those that do not, so if you want to enter the ranks of major powers, it is imperative to develop and equip aircraft carriers.

Because it is a defeated country, the army cannot be equipped with aircraft carriers. 2 wartime, ** there were 13 aircraft carriers. Now that Japan's Self-Defense Forces have been changed to Self-Defense Forces, this shows that Japan still has the desire to invade, and Japan is a great threat to China and the world, so we Chinese should study hard and make our country rich and strong.

On August 21, the "Ise", which was called the "*** frigate" by the Maritime Self-Defense Force, was launched in Yokohama. This is also the second combat ship with a full load displacement of more than 18,000 tons owned by Japan after the "Hyuga". Despite being dubbed a "frigate", the launch of the Ise marked a crucial step forward in Japan's aircraft carrier resurrection program.

It is generally believed that an "aircraft carrier" usually refers to a combat ship with an all-through deck, which can carry and take off and land fixed-wing aircraft or *** and has a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. Among them, the main ones that carry *** or short vertical take-off and landing fighters are usually called *** motherships or amphibious assault ships.

According to this definition, after the launch of the "Ise", the actual number of aircraft carriers owned by the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force has reached five, including three "Osumi"-class amphibious assault ships "Osumi", "Shimokita", and "Kunisaki" (known as "amphibious transport ships" in Japan) with a full load displacement of 10,000 tons, and two "Hyuga"-class *** carriers "Hyuga" and "Ise" (known as "*** frigates" in Japan) with a full load displacement of 10,000 tons. Construction of the second ship in the Hyuga class began on May 30, 2008, with a total budget of 97.5 billion yen.

An aircraft carrier is a large combat ship based on aircraft, positioned as a mobile airfield at sea, the outermost air defense barrier and attack output of the fleet. It is mainly responsible for the seizure and guarantee of maritime air supremacy, air support, long-range early warning and monitoring, and other tasks. In addition, it can also undertake other tasks such as strategic deterrence, strategic force projection, transportation, rescue and disaster relief.

In addition, although the aircraft carrier also has the supporting facilities of the fleet headquarters, it usually does not let the aircraft carrier serve as the flagship of the formation, because the aircraft carrier target is too large, and if the fleet command is set up on the aircraft carrier, then once it is stolen, the main output and command center of the fleet will all be useless. So it is generally up to a destroyer or cruiser to act as the flagship of an aircraft carrier formation. The United States uses Ticonderoga, and China uses 055
