Parrikar, who was on a four-day visit to Japan held talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida and was also given a tour on biggest Japanese warship since World War Two, the Izumo, a helicopter carrier.

The Izumo with a crew of 470 sailors is a highly visible example of how Japan is expanding the capability of its military to operate overseas and enters service as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe seeks lawmaker approval to loosen the restraints of Japan’s pacifist post-war constitution.

Development of ” Izumo ” is seen as Japans return to becoming Maritime power in Asia. Izumo primarily developed as Helicopters carrier will be used for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) but can easily also use STOVL F-35B version or OV22 aircrafts which will allow it to play roles of a functional aircraft carrier if need arises, while Japan has not placed any orders for STOVL variant of F-35 yet but it is this ship which are keeping Chinese on guards and Chinese have described it as an “aircraft-carrier in disguise” .

The US-2 is built by ShinMaywa Industries Ltd., based in Hyogo Prefecture.

The Indonesian defense minister said the US-2 is well suited for the geographical conditions of Indonesia, a country of thousands of islands.

Noting that both Japan and Indonesia are archipelagic countries that frequently have to contend with natural disasters like earthquakes, he said, “Geographically, we are in the ‘ring of fire,’ so we learn from Japan in terms of disaster management.”

Indonesia is seeking to strengthen its maritime forces, sea patrol functions and search and rescue operations in surrounding waters.

The US-2 can land on and take off from the sea. The aircraft is already in use by the Self-Defense Forces..... to read more
