The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) has found what appears to be a screw blade that fell off the escort ship near the shallow waters around the site of the accident in which the escort ship was unable to navigate on its own in the Seto Inland Sea off the coast of Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The escort ship anchored at the site will be moved to the shipyard on the 15th.
On the 10th of this month, the Maritime Self-Defense Force's escort ship "Inazuma" was unable to navigate on its own in the Seto Inland Sea off Suo-Oshima Island in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
On the 13th, the Maritime Self-Defense Force revealed that when divers investigated near the shallows around the site, they found what appeared to be fallen feathers.
In addition, there was an oil leak from the part that fell off, but it is said that the escort ship will be towed to the shipyard in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture around 8:00 am on the 15th, saying that the countermeasures have been completed.
Regarding this accident, the Japan Coast Guard suspected that the escort ship had deviated from the route and touched the shallow water, and is investigating the suspicion of business negligence and traffic danger. .
