The US and Japanese navies wanted to conduct joint mine-clearing exercises last week until a fire broke out on the JS "Ukushima" (Sugashima class, MSC-686) on 10 November 2024.
The ship was on its way to the joint exercise, according to a spokesman for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defence Force on Tuesday. The fire broke out on Sunday morning in the waters about 1 ½ miles north of the island of Oshima (Fukuoka Prefecture), which belongs to Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's four main islands.
