JS Shimakaze (now a training vessel) is a fine example of US 1980s naval technology

Japanese naval training squadron visits the UK


Two warships of the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force (JMSDF) have arrived in the UK at a time when the Anglo-Japanese defence relationship is growing closer.

The officer cadet training vessel JS Kashima and the destroyer JS Shimakaze left Japan in late April for a training cruise that will see the ships circumnavigate the globe. Before arrival in the UK they made port calls in Timor, Colombo, Djibouti and Toulon. They will subsequently cross the Atlantic to visit Norfolk in the US before heading through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific to return home in August. Although the Kashima made a similar visit to London in July 2016, this port call is seen as particularly special on the 120th anniversary of the signing of the Anglo-Japanese Treaty and a reciprocal visit after the UK Carrier Strike Group was in Japan last year.
