Japan continues its efforts to convert the “JS Izumo” (DDH-183) and “JS Kaga” (DDH-184) ships, previously used as helicopter carriers, into “mini carriers” with a $28 million modernization to deploy F-35B fighters. In this context, the modifications made to the ship JS Izumo (DDH-183), which was converted to a "light aircraft carrier", are shown. Officially described as a "multipurpose destroyer", the Izumo is the flagship of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
