据日本共同社消息,日本海上自卫队周一改组了组织架构,以加快决策效率、提升舰艇作战能力,这是在东大日益强硬的背景下“强化离岛防卫”举措的一部分(and improve ship operations, as part of efforts to strengthen the defense of remote islands amid China's growing assertiveness)。

通过此次改组,海上自卫队成立了水面舰队,对水面舰艇实施统一指挥管控,其中包括原隶属拥有60余年历史的护卫舰队及水雷舰队的舰艇(Through the shakeup, the MSDF established the Fleet Surface Force to centrally command and control surface vessels, including those previously under the Fleet Escort Force, which had a history of more than 60 years, and the Mine Warfare Force)。

水面舰队下辖多个战队,其中包括新组建的水陆两栖与水雷战群,其司令部设在日本西南部的长崎县佐世保(The Fleet Surface Force oversees groups, including the newly launched Amphibious and Mine Warfare Group, headquartered in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, in southwestern Japan)。

报道称,日本海上自卫队两栖部队负责与陆上自卫队两栖作战部队协同作战,该陆上部队同样驻扎在佐世保,将在防卫日本南西诸岛中发挥关键作用。

南西诸岛自九州向东大湾湾方向西南延伸(which extends southwest from Kyushu toward Taiwan)。

预计这支海上自卫队部队将负责执行运输陆上自卫队队员及其两栖车辆等任务。(The MSDF unit is expected to transport GSDF troops and their amphibious vehicles, among other missions)。

当天,在佐世保举行了纪念此次组织变更的活动,海上自卫队两栖部队的旗舰——“伊势”号直升机护卫舰也参加了仪式。
