nournews - International Group: A Japanese destroyer from the Yukosuka base in Kanagawa has been sent to the Mediterranean and the coast of Africa. The purpose of sending this destroyer is to patrol and deal with pirates.
The destroyer, called Onami, had 200 crew members and was sent to the Middle East, where there are many sensitivities about the corona.
According to the Japan Times, the mission will be canceled if Corona crashes into the destroyer.
On February 4, the media reported that a warship had been sent to the Persian Gulf. At the time, Reuters reported on Yukozuka that a tanker had been sent to the Oman Sea.
The issue of sending Takanami to the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman in Japan itself was a contentious issue. Under Japan's constitution, the country is barred from participating in international military missions.
For this reason, the Takanami destroyer has not been sent to the region as part of an international naval mission under the command of the United States and is operating independently.
