Red-lit area in MSDF ship

TOKYO, Japan - A crew member of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force fleet support ship Tokiwa gets a drink in a hallway of the vessel on June 6. The area is lit in red after sunset to help the crew adjust their eyes as soon as possible in the event that an emergency occurs in the dark. The Tokiwa was deployed on a mission to refuel MSDF destroyers involved in antipiracy operations off Somalia, namely the Sazanami and Samidare, as well as ships taking part in U.S.-led antiterrorism operations in and near Afghanistan.
