JDS Natsushio

JDS Natsushio visited Pearl Harbor as part of the exercise RIMPAC 2000. JDS Natsushio (the name means Summer Wind) was sponsored by USS Kamehameha. Here are some pictures of Natsushio as she enters Pearl Harbor, taken at Hickam Air Force Base with Iriquois Point in the background behind the ship.

The RIMPAC web page can be found here.
