According to information published by the Royal Navy on June 22, 2022, patrol ship HMS Mersey and survey vessel HMS Enterprise linked up with Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force ships Kashima, which trains officer cadets, and general-purpose destroyer Shimakaze off Portland Bill. [...]
The two Japanese ships are on Overseas Training Cruise 2022, sailing halfway around the world, training with friendly and allied navies on the way. The duo have already worked with Britain’s biggest warship, the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, as she led NATO exercises off the Spanish coast. [...] The Japanese force has now split up; the Shimakaze arrives in Portsmouth for a five-day visit, while the Kashima enjoys a prime berth on the Thames alongside HMS Belfast and opposite the Tower of London from tomorrow until Saturday as she calls on the capital.
The pair will link up with the Royal Navy again for further exercises upon sailing at the weekend, this time with HMS Severn, the Fleet’s dedicated specialist navigation training ship.
