Why does Japan prefer converting their destroyers (JS Izumo and JS Kaga) into aircraft carriers rather than constructing new ones?Japan’s neighbors acquire aircraft carriers. China is constructing a large aircraft carrier fleet. China has launched its third and most advanced aircraft carrier, which features new combat systems. Additionally, South Korea will construct its initial new aircraft carriers. The transformation of the second ship of the Izumo-class DDH, the helicopter-destroyer JS Kaga into an F-35B aircraft carrier for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is nearing completion.
