The JMSDF is level capped by the US. It is allowed to have enough ships to run errand for the US and be the meat shield for the 7th fleet in a conflict. However, it can never have capability that can threaten US naval dominance. Hence the JMSDF is devoid of strike and logistics capabilities, despite having the technology and ship building capacity to massively expand in both areas. This is like the feudal era, where the King have the strongest army in the kingdom but would call upon his vassal's forces in wars. However, a competent king would never allow any of his aristocrats to have armies that can threaten his own, regardless of the enemy's strength. Britain and France are allies, Japan and Korea are vassal's, hence their very different structures and capabilities.

The lack of Blue Water capability is deliberate according to the USN Strategic objectives with the USN maintaining a Blue Water Carrier Strike Force whereas Japan and South Korea are regionally situated to contain the Chinese Navy within the three Island Chains. especially the 1st and second Island Chains of containment. America will naturally assume global hegemony of Blue Water Dominance with 11 Carrier Strike Groups. The Only challenge to the Blue Water dominance has allways been the Russian Navy, especially the SSBN Borei and the SSN Yasen Submarines. However, the Chinese future Blue Water Fleet will once and for all challenge the American Blue Water dominance within the next half century. I am certain that China will overtake America within the next century.

Actually Japan has very powerful navy to defend itself and operate around the Japanese coastline. The post WWII Japanese navy was not build for power projection OR far off operations. They were built only to operate around Japan that's why they have very less logistical ships. So this is by design and intentionally. Ofcourse US enforced this strategy for Japanese Navy.

[@Electricfan-k7l]

Thank you for your wonderful explanation. Japan analyzed its defeat in the Second World War and took seriously the failure of the plan to transport strategic materials from the southern resource areas in convoys in 1941 as planned, and since its establishment, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has been primarily engaged in anti-submarine operations, with the securing of sea transport routes as its first priority. Signs of change were seen in the 1980s, when then Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone called the Japanese archipelago an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" in a meeting with US President Reagan and promised to defend a 1,000-nautical-mile sea lane. In fact, there have been many twists and turns, such as the plan to acquire an anti-submarine aircraft carrier from the 1950s and the plan to acquire Harrier in the 1970s, and under the so-called 1970s sea supremacy concept, the "Aegis" became a higher priority than "light aircraft carriers" and "naval early warning aircraft," and the United States was approached to purchase it. Japan, which had continued to make the puzzling "pledge" to spend 1% of GDP on defense, has finally stated that it will spend 2% of GDP (albeit nominally). Japan cannot afford to spend about 4% of its GDP on defense like the United States and China. Former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has said that Japan should have "no taboos in defense discussions," but the issue of "nuclear" has been repeatedly raised in the Nobel Peace Prize, the Ukraine war, and the Taiwan issue, but there has been no progress. And I would like to say this. It is not that Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution prevents Japan from possessing "aircraft carriers," "nuclear submarines (including SSNs, SSGNs, and SSBNs)," "ballistic missiles," or "strategic bombers," but rather that the Japanese government has simply declared that it will not possess them. I personally believe that if the people wish, they have the right to revoke the declaration, revise their defense doctrine, and even possess "nuclear weapons." However, I do not think the time is ripe for that at the moment. Japan, which defines weapons as weapons of aggression and defense, should immediately become equal to other "normal" countries.

[@ノブゾウ]

The sea area on the Chinese side of Japan is extremely shallow, making it difficult for nuclear submarines to make full use of it. Also, if you apply the cost of over 20 diesel submarines to nuclear submarines, you would only be able to buy about 2 or 3 submarines, which would not be good in terms of cost performance. With the addition of lithium-ion batteries to the power sources of Japanese submarines, we believe that they will be able to conduct sufficient operations within the range that allows sailors to maintain their composure.

[@hughmungus2760]

its abit unfair to say the japanese navy is bad because it lacks long range power projection. Thats the same argument used against china.

Japan is restricted by two major factors: the budget and the constitutional article 9 that limits its military capabilities. The Japanese understand that they are woefully under equipped to stop China. Thus they increased the budget, however the JSDF are still limited by their political pacificism. For how limited the JSDF has been, it's actually quite impressive how effective their acquisition programs have been. The Japanese have never overspent on a warship and nearly all their programs are delivered timely and with all their capabilities when launched. That in itself is a massive advantage when Japan needs to ramp up military production during wartime. They have an extremely reliable economy to produce high quality defense procurements within a reasonable budget.

[@tvgerbil1984]

The JMSDF ships are meant to work in conjunction with the USN ones. That's probably why the USN locates the headquarter of its largest fleet, the 7th Fleet, at Yokosuka. The combined force from fleets of the two countries is more than adequate to defend Japanese martime interests.

[@avinashgore6258]

Japan does not even think of attacking anyone, except in self defense. Then partners like USA with enormous resources will come into play and Japan navy shall have secondary roles, that it is fit for purpose. On defensive role, land assets like Air power F15 fleet Helicopters and long range Missile (acquiring 100 s of American) forces, F35 planes in many squadron strength will be able to give a bloody nose to China and North Korea. It is likely that QUAD will turn into a defense partnership in next decade adding Massive Indian forces to the mix. So the future is not very risky! And at the end of the day the warmongering is becoming less and less possible, in this world of partnerships of nations.

Interestingly, your description of the Japanese navy is very similar to that of China and South Korea. All three are extremely dependent on import and export, ergo sea lanes. All three have extremely long sea lanes. All three can not adequately defend the sea lanes should a war break out Unlike Chona or South Korea, Japan is restricted by its Constitution and they are barred from unilateral changes. But, unlike China, the United States is treaty obligated to defend Japan to include defending its overseas supply line. The US purposely limited Japan's expeditionary capabilities to the relief of Japan's neighbors. It also made Japan dependent the US as intended.

[@CaiusMandragoran]

The title of this video is inherently misleading. Japan's navy is only "worse than you think" if viewed from the limited lens of blue-water capabilities--a mission that the JMSDF has never made their primary focus anyway because of constitutional limitations against power projection and using war as a tool of foreign policy. Hence, if accurately assessed against their primary mission of self-defense, Japan's navy is actually quite capable for defending its home islands. And let's not forget: whatever inherent "weakness" Japan has for blue-water operations is--by design--complemented by the US 7th Fleet. The JMSDF's ongoing warming of relations and military interoperability efforts with South Korea and the Philippines only further strengthens cooperation and improves the alliance's military potency. This is what China-friendly commentators fail to always acknowledge, it seems: military alliances are always better than going it alone. China may have the biggest navy right now, but against the full might of the US Navy-led alliance in the region, it simply is no match. After all, China only has North Korea and Russia as its allies in the region--and we all know how reliable and capable that "alliance" is. :)

[@ragabara1031]

Military alliances might be an effective deterrent against starting a war against any of their members, but not necessarily an effective countermeasure once one starts. Also, one has to ask whether US military alliances are actually a deterrent at all, since the United States has many other options in its strategic toolbox to secure its interests, such as economic sanctions, proxy wars, supporting local grassroots movements, etc. etc. that don't directly involve its military forces in costly and potentially risky demonstrations of force. Every time we've seen US military alliances demonstrate their potential in recent decades, it has involved illegal invasions and attacks on isolated and smaller nations combined with or after the above described tools. However we see traces of these tools being used by the US and its military allies outside of direct military conflicts anyway, and since there's no formal declaration of war against another nation even while clearly acting to influence decisions within its borders, there is strong sign of intent to coerce and subvert local governments. That goes beyond deterring other nations from military attacks against US military alliances, and crosses into establishing new vassal regimes and destabilizing regions. And it's not like the US flavour of military alliance can't be countered by larger, better integrated nations. All the other options it uses are to weaken and isolate other nations, but if they don't work then military containment and direct attacks become far more risky and carry less potential for gains, not to mention the targets of these actions will naturally respond by strengthening their resilience to coercion and subversion, use other means to weaken US influence in their area, and seek military alliances of their own with other powers, thus negating any claim of a deterrent for the US or its allies. There's also the nature of the US military alliance - when actually used to contain large and strong powers, it always involves pitting weaker nations against their neighbours, usually as a type of tripwire. The lack of sufficient military balance without the United States means the high chance of inflicting major and potentially crippling damage against its allies before an actual effective military response. Despite local understanding of US requirements to maintain hegemony, there is always a fear by the local population of US domestic politics creating unpredictable variations in its government's commitment to back local regimes once conflict has started. When a stronger nation attacks a weak nation, not only does the United States need that weaker nation to contribute to total victory against the aggressor, but it also has to ensure the weaker nation doesn't collapse under the burden of military spending, political infighting, low public confidence, and general societal instability, all of which are reasons for US military allies collapsing and signs for the US military to pull out and cut their losses. The shift towards backing local regional alliances, as opposed to direct supervision of individual allies, is a clear sign of fading US military power, but not necessarily economic power. The United States will play a greater role in propping up the economies of its allies even as they weaken from uncompetitive local labour, aging and overly urbanized populations, and declining foreign investment potential, as they will continue borrowing in US dollars to fund expenditures. However this will only be temporary. It will not prevent these local allies from looking elsewhere to trade in dollars, and should other countries demonstrate sufficient growth potential, then the likelihood of these allies making bilateral currency swap deals, and trading in local currencies with these countries, is high, thus weakening dependency on the United States and incentive to maintain belligerence toward neighbours. That is the one thing that a US military presence has curtailed, and which in the end will force the US government to cut its spending and confront the astronomical debt which it had previously forced other countries to pay for through the abuse of the dollar's reserve currency status.

[@alispeed5095]

There is a nuance to this. China & many other Asia Pacific countries,actually until recent decades appreciated US presence (and control of Japan) US basically prevents Japan from offensive re-armament, hence no real carriers or nuclear capability This is the reason for the Japanese Naval set up. Therefore China & US whilstbin conpetition are also aligned in this respect. US is guarantor of Japan's trade routes, which is why Japan (in words at least) generallyvtoes a US line. If Japan became more independent of the US shadow, there are benefits but also pitfalls. A more nationalistic Japan without its master/shogun (the US) may re-arm but/or it may also conduct more independent foreign policy. The lack of a US nuclear umbrella however may also mean a Japanese nuclear pursuit. In that Uncle Sam will like China prob not prefer.

If Japan is at war with China then the US is at war with China (no, don't try to argue with me on that.

China will be busy trying to defend its own supply lines from the US Navy. China doesn't have many military bases outside of China (yet).

There is one factor that need to be kept in mind that is distance between japan and it's enemies (china and north Korea)that is about 500km on average that is well under the range of land based radar and missile system this mean japan can deal with air and surface naval threat with land based missile systems alone, this is the reason why jmsdf is so focused on ASW. A war between China and japan will mostly be electronic warfare and slug fist of missile. If japan deploy long range missile on the Kyushu island chain that will itself be enough to deal with china. But I agree japan needs power progressive capabilities, they need destroyers with heavy anti ship and anti air capabilities and support vessels. But japan's biggest weakness is it's self imposed restriction unless japan can remove Article 9 of its constitution which forbids having a military japan can never became a true superpower.
