Marine Corps F-35B Conduct First Landing Aboard JS Izumo
MCAS IWAKUNI, Japan
At the request of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force,
Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 242 successfully conducted the first ever landing of two F-35B Lightning II aircraft aboard the Japanese Ship Izumo on Oct. 3.
Following a series of modifications to the JS Izumo to enable short take-off and vertical landing operations,
a capability that the “B” variant of the F-35 specializes in, U.S. Marines embarked aboard the JS Izumo
and worked directly with JMSDF personnel as part of a bilateral effort to ensure the capability test was both effective and safe.
“This trial has proved that the JS Izumo has the capability to support takeoffs and landings of STOVL aircraft at sea, which will allow us to provide an additional option for air defense in the Pacific Ocean in the near future,”
said JMSDF Rear Adm.
Shukaku Komuta, commander of Escort Flotilla One.
