The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) announced that it had deployed a fleet including its largest warship, the "Izumo," and the latest Aegis destroyer, the "Haguro," from Yokosuka for an Indo-Pacific Deployment (IPD24) on June 3, 2024.
The "Izumo" and "Haguro" belong to the 2nd Surface Force and are expected to operate for about 5 months along with the "Ariake" destroyer. This deployment, which began in 2017, is the eighth this year.
IPD24 aims to enhance tactical skills, promote mutual understanding, and strengthen cooperation through joint training with navies of Indo-Pacific nations. The "Izumo" is the largest warship in the JMSDF, and the "Haguro" is currently the latest Aegis destroyer in Japan.
The "Haguro" is the second ship of the "Maya" class Aegis destroyer, which was commissioned in March 2021. It has the same equipment and performance as the "Maya" and is equipped with SPY-1 multifunction radar, high-performance computers, SM-2, and SM-3 surface-to-air missiles.
The "Haguro," along with the "Maya," is expected to increase the number of Aegis destroyers in the JMSDF to 8, contributing to strengthening the maritime defense system, including ballistic missile defense. The "Haguro" is equipped with an Aegis system, which enables it to monitor a wide area, track multiple targets, and attack simultaneously. The Aegis system is a system developed to defend fleets from missile attacks, consisting of radar, sensors, control devices, and missiles.
The deployment of the "Izumo" and "Haguro" to the Indo-Pacific region demonstrates Japan's commitment to strengthening its maritime defense capabilities and enhancing regional security cooperation. Through this deployment, Japan is expected to strengthen military cooperation with Indo-Pacific nations and contribute to regional stability.
