Just weeks ago, the heads of the RN and Japanese Maritime Defence Force signed an agreement committed to working more closely together, an opportunity presented when the Portsmouth warship encountered the Suzutsuki.

Having safeguarded shipping – merchant and military – through the narrows of the Bab al Mandeb to counter the threat of anti-ship missiles in the hands of rebels in neighbouring Yemen in recent weeks, Daring’s focus shifted to counter-terrorism/smuggling/piracy in the troubled waters between Yemen and Somali.
She’s assigned to Combined Task Force 150, an international force of warships drawn from around half a dozen nations committed to maritime security and ensuring the safe passage of international shipping in the Indian Ocean.
先前，部署在波斯湾的勇敢号在靠近也门的Bab al Mandeb海峡进行海上护航，为盟邦军舰与民船提供防空警戒，提防胡赛叛军可能的反舰导弹袭击。随后，勇敢号的任务部署改变成以反恐、反走私、反海盗为主，编入盟军的第150联合编队（ Combined Task Force 150），在印度洋水域维护海事安全
The ships of the task force typically work independently – but with the common goal of stopping drugs, people or weapons being smuggled, or merchant ships being seized.
The rare link-up between the two destroyers afforded a two-day break from the routine of prowling hundreds of miles of ocean.
Sailors from the two ships traded places to experience life aboard the respective vessels for what the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force – the official title of Japan’s Navy – called “mutual understanding with the British Navy and deepening of friendship”.
“It was a real privilege to work with our Japanese counterparts, even for a brief time,” said Commander Philip Dennis, the Commanding Officer of HMS Daring.
“It was an opportunity to prove that we can work together and also a chance to make new friends and colleagues while serving at sea on this vital task protecting Britain’s economy.
“Our two navies have a history going back over a century, so it was an honour to continue that tradition with these two state-of-the-art warships.”
Bridge teams practised some joint manoeuvring, communications teams made sure Daring and Suzutsuki – Japanese for ‘clear moon’ – could talk to each other over the airwaves (English being the common language used), before the Japanese launched their version of the Blackhawk helicopter to record the movements of the two warships on camera.
Portsmouth-based HMS Daring, which is designed to protect task forces from air attack, while Akizuki class provide an all-round shield against air, surface and submarine threats, worked briefly with Suzutsuki’s older sister Teruzuki after providing assistance to the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan back in 2013.
The latest combined training comes just weeks after an agreement was signed by the leaders of the Royal, US and Japanese Navies to work together ever more closely.
