Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Indo-Pacific, Japan today launched its sixth Taigei-class diesel-electric attack submarine, known as “Okinagorō” in Japanese, named “Aogorō”.

This launch is not only a milestone in military technology, but also a strong signal from Tokyo to strengthen its defenses against China's maritime expansion.

The launch took place this morning at the Kawasaki Heavy Industries shipyard in Kobe, Japan, attended by Japanese Defense Minister Minoru Kihara and the commander of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).

This 84-meter submarine, with a surface tonnage of approximately 3,000 tons, was launched into the water with a respectful traditional Japanese ceremony.
