Wait a minute, when did US aircraft operate from a Japanese warship in WWII? What the heck did I miss?

They’re also operating off the new British carrier, the Queen Elizabeth. Japan & Britain have only recently gotten their F-35B’s but their pilots are still training up. Buy deploying US Marine squadrons they can train their aircraft handlers to support the new aircraft type at the same time.

The Nippons were badass when we had to fight them. No doubt they still have that talent which can be turned back on with no problem. The Chicoms may learn the folly of overreach the hard way.
To: Tallguy
I totally understand that, I know someone in Japan who saw the QE visit there very recently. I just want to know about that “first time since WWII”. Did we ever fly anything off of Japanese carriers after WWII? Inquiring minds want to know.

If they chicoms think they will intervene over Taiwan they will nuke Japan at some point. The IJN can do a lot of damage to the chicom fleet. If it does come to war with China I hope the Kido Butai can run wild for more than six months.

Flying off the Kaga... Aaaand...here we are. Apparently allied with the Japanese against the Chinese. The Chinese were our allies in WWII and the Roosevelt Administration stabbed the Nationalist Chinese in the back in favor of the Communists. Since then, and for obvious reasons, the Japanese have been far better friends to us, even if they did want to bury us industrially, which is fair game.

If nukes get involved at all, that’s game over. We’d hit back, then they’d knock out the to 40 or so US cities and China’s nukes are relatively high yield. End of the world for China and USA for sure.

Hmmm, standby for all the F-35, Lockheed, Military industrial complex haters. You can hear them running to this thread.
