Invading Chinese territorial waters, the Japanese ship "Shigure" was warned twice with gunshots before turning back. The Japanese "Shigure" destroyer has caused a big trouble! On August 10, 2025, local time, Japanese major media suddenly started to hype an old news and first disclosed that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had entered Chinese territorial waters in July 2024, the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force was subjected to two warning shots by Chinese Navy warships. According to information from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, the shells fired by the Chinese Navy warship fell near the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, right next to it, causing large water columns. The "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force was warned by the Chinese Navy warship (the report stated that it was a Chinese Navy 054A frigate) and immediately turned back, urgently leaving the Chinese territorial waters. Subsequently, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces actively explained that the problem of the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force was due to the captain, "he did not clearly see the nautical chart, misjudged the Chinese territorial waters, so he caused this big trouble," it is said that the captain of the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force was removed from his post.
From 2011, China and Japan have been having maritime confrontations, but this is the first time that it has escalated to warning shooting. How could it just be a map mistake? At that time, the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force directly lost contact with the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force command headquarters, after returning to port, the crew on board were also directly dealt with by the Japan Self-Defense Forces' military police.
It seems that the two shells fired by the Chinese Navy warship woke up the captain of the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. He clearly knew what would happen if the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force continued to enter Chinese territorial waters again. The Chinese Navy could really sink it! It was almost possible for us to see the 76mm naval gun of the Chinese Navy 054A frigate using its maximum rate of fire to turn the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force into a sieve. If the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force faced the Chinese Navy 052D destroyer or the modern-class destroyer, which can open fire with a 130mm naval gun, it would certainly be sunk within five minutes! Normally, two warning shots are issued, and then the next one would not be a crossfire. It is estimated that after firing two shells, the Chinese Navy warship had already prepared to open full firepower to sink the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. We definitely used all warning measures, and only when the "Shigure" destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force didn't listen to the warnings, we opened fire as a warning. There is even a suspicion that the J-16 heavy fighter jet or the Fei豹 fighter-bomber had arrived on the scene.
