JS DDH-184 Kaga Improved carrier 3Dモデル

Originally launched as a helicopter carrier, the JS Kaga is an Izumo-class vessel initially designed to house up to 28 helicopters. Following a refit that began in 2018, the ship was equipped with a reinforced flight deck to support the F-35B, a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant of Lockheed Martin’s fifth-generation fighter jet. At over 800 feet long and with a weight of 24,000 tons, the Kaga is relatively compact compared to U.S. Nimitz-class carriers but represents a substantial upgrade in Japan’s naval capability.
