note

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (海上自衛隊 Kaijō Jieitai), or JMSDF, is the naval branch of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, tasked with the naval defense of Japan. It was formed following the dissolution of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) after World War II. The JMSDF has a large fleet and its main tasks are to maintain control of the nation's sea lanes and to patrol territorial waters. It has also stepped up its participation in UN-led peacekeeping operations (PKOs) and Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIOs). Currently (2013) operates 340 aircraft. In 2011 JASDF & JMSDF established an air base at Djibouti using primarily Kawasaki P-3 Orions to assist anti-piracy operations off Africas East Coast
