On the 8th, about 50 km offshore southeast of Cape Ashizuri in Kochi Prefecture, the Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine "Soryu" and the cargo ship "Ocean Artemis" carrying iron ore collided.
According to the 5th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters, it was found that three male SDF personnel in their 20s and 40s had bruised their faces and burned their ankles in this accident, and the Maritime Security Headquarters suffered accidental injuries in business. I will hear from the crew about the situation at that time, with a view to suspicion of the danger of accidental traffic in business.
In addition, when examining the hull of the submarine moored near Kochi Port, it was confirmed that the right side of the "kaji" called "submarine" was bent and the right side of the bridge was dented. On the 9th, we will continue to investigate the damage to the hull along with the cargo ship that arrived off the coast of Kobe Port.
