Japan's last MSDF ship returns from refueling mission
TOKYO, Japan - After completing a four-month mission to refuel vessels of U.S.-led coalition forces in the Indian Ocean, the 8,150-ton Maritime Self-Defense Force supply ship Tokiwa berths at Narumi pier in Tokyo on Nov. 23. The Tokiwa is the last MSDF vessel to return home after Japan called off a six-year refueling mission in the Indian Ocean, as the government failed to get a bill through parliament to re-authorize the mission.
