Meet the ships
Kashima
The Kashima is considered Japan's premier training ship and was built specifically to train new officers. The vessel fulfills a diplomatic role on voyages around the world.
Shimakaze
The Shimakaze was built in 1988 as a warship and, decades later, converted into a training vessel. The visit to Brazil is part of an international voyage combining naval exercises, cultural exchange, and closer ties between Japan and partner countries.
