While two Russian naval vessels are now docked at Pier 15, Manila South Harbor for a six-day goodwill visit, two ships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Escort Division 4 have arrived in Subic Bay, Zambales for a three-day port visit which started Wednesday.
Capt. Lued Lincuna, Philippine Navy (PN) spokesperson, said the ships are JS Inazuma (DDG-105) and JS Suzutsuki (DD-117).
These naval vessels are under the operational control of JMSDF Escort Division 4 headed by Capt. Atsushi Minami.
“The JMSDF Escort Division 4 will be staying in the country to replenish supplies, conduct maintenance work and crew rest prior going back to Japan from conducting Counter Piracy Operations at the Gulf of Aden,” Lincuna said.
