With navy drills and ship sales, Japan is strengthening security relations with Britain, Australia and other non-US allies, analysts note
Earlier this month, F-35B Lightning II fighters from the British Royal Navy’s 809 Naval Air Squadron conducted landings and launches on the Japanese destroyer-carrier JS Kaga as part of a multinational exercise in the Philippine Sea.
The British Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, as well as the US Marine Corps, were present on the deck of the Kaga to assist with the flight operations, and two F-35Bs from US Marine Attack Squadron 242 also took part in the training, according to a statement from the British navy.
