According to Japanese media reports, on the morning of August 23, Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru visited the Yokosuka Base of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture).
He boarded the escort ship "Kaga," which is promoting the de facto aircraft carrier, and inspected the deck and hangar. After that, he gave instructions to the members. Since his visit to the Maizuru Base of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (Maizuru City, Kyoto Prefecture) in May, Prime Minister Ishiba has been visiting escort ships. Due to the cancellation by the Ministry of Defense of the annual self-defense force viewing ceremony, ship viewing ceremony, and air viewing ceremony, the purpose of the visits is to maintain the morale of the personnel.
The "Kaga" is planned to operate the F35B fighter jets of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and has undergone major modifications.
The Prime Minister also visited the U.S. Yokosuka Base and boarded the British "Princess Wales" aircraft carrier during its stay in the port. The purpose was to call for cooperation between Japan and the UK in the defense field.
