Above all, the leaders under Meiji urgently wanted to modernise Japan’s army and navy. They disarmed the samurai, introduced universal conscription for young men, obtained the world’s most advanced military and naval weapons, and brought foreign experts to instruct Japan’s soldiers and sailors in their use. And as Britain had the world’s most powerful navy, Japan sent its most promising sailors to learn Britain’s naval skills. One of them was Heihachiro Tōgō.
Tōgō was a wonderfully appropriate choice. Born in 1847 to a samurai family of the Satsuma clan in Kyushu, he retained early childhood memories of the arrival of Admiral Perry’s four fire-breathing black ships in Tokyo Bay in 1853 to force the Shogunate to open Japan to trade with the United States. In 1863, at the age of 16, he participated in the defence of the fort of Kagoshima when a British squadron under Admiral Augustus Kuper bombarded the town in reprisal for the samurai killing of Charles Richardson, a British merchant.
Three things were seared into Tōgō’s brain as a result of his youthful experiences: Japan was impotent without western technology; its primary defence against outside aggression must be a very strong navy; and it must learn the principles of self-defence.
In 1871, Tōgō embarked for England. As an ‘oriental’, he was not permitted to attend the Royal Navy college at Dartmouth, but was billeted on a hulk training ship, Worcester, where he studied European history, mathematics, and mechanical drawing. He visited the Australian colonies during a cruise on HMS Hampshire, and watched with interest the building of Fusō at Yokosuka, the first British- constructed warship for the new Imperial Japanese navy. Captain Smith, Tōgō’s British tutor is reported to have said of him: ’Tōgō is not what you would call brilliant, but a great plodder, slow to learn but very sure of what he has learnt’.

So, despite the Royal Navy talking about the carriers as being ‘eight acres of sovereign territory’, the truth is that the use of its prime strike asset is firmly under US control, and access of RN sailors to the hangar and flight deck is dictated by US regulations. Very sovereign! ‘Freedom of modification’ is vital to GCAP as there is absolutely no such facility in the F-35 programme whatsoever. You might – just might – be able to buy, at significant cost, a derogation to adapt F-35, but to do this, a country will have to hand over all its software for, say, a new missile, to Lockheed Martin/Joint Program Office to do the integration.
In the UK, there was a detectable sense of disenchantment about F-35, mostly within the RAF, after the 2012 reversal of the decision to acquire the F-35C. Specific concerns, other than the B’s short legs include the ‘black box’ nature of the sensor-fusion system which, despite its legally important role in determining whether or not a target is legitimate under prevailing rules of engagement, the ability to record, offload and exploit sensor data and share it with other assets is restricted. The US also has tight control over mission data files (MDFs), including electronic order-of-battle data. MDFs for the UK, Italy, Japan and other F-35 operators are exclusively generated by the USAF’s 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing at Eglin AFB, Florida.
