The Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force hosts an annual gathering of naval forces from around the world with goal of strengthening their communications, coordination and operational tactics. In 2021 five countries participated, JMSDF, Canada, Germany, Royal Australian Navy and the USN. These operations were carried out in the Philippine Sea between November 21-30, 2021. One group representing the USN was VFA-147 "Argonauts" onboard the USS Carl Vinson. The F-35C 169304 of VFA-147 that took part in ANNUALEX 2021 was lost on January 24, 2022 due to pilot error. Designed to meet the US Military's requirement for a multi-role Joint Strike Fighter, the F-35 was first flown on December 15, 2006. This single-seat fighter is one of the most advanced aircraft of our time, said to be four times more effective at air-to-air combat and eight times more effective at air-to-ground combat than any other existing aircraft. It uses a low-maintenance stealth technology, and some versions have an innovative Lift System, which gives the F-35 vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The US plans to buy a total of 2,443 F-35s at a cost of $323 billion, which makes the F-35 the most expensive defense program in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
