The US Navy intends to expand cooperation with Japanese shipyards, transferring to them a more significant, and subsequently major overhaul of warships.

As the US Ambassador to this country, Rahm Emanuel, stated in January 2024, this decision was caused by an urgent need to reduce the time required to return the pennants of the American fleet to service. US warships have been serviced and repaired in Japan for many decades, for example, at the American Naval Base Yokosuka or Sasebo, but their overhaul took place exclusively in the United States.

However, at home, the completion process may exceed the planned deadlines by months or even years

- it says in the publication Stars and Stripes.

According to the ambassador, the U.S. Accounting Chamber in a report for May 2022 found that the backlog during the repair work led to the decommissioning of nine pennants and the loss of 34 years of ship life.

The rules we had in the past were good for the past. Changes are overdue. We're going to do some kind of beta testing of the whole concept.

- the ambassador noted in January, pointing out the need to transfer competencies to Japanese shipyards.

Apparently, the "beta testing" was successful. According to the Pentagon, two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are ready to return to combat service.

USS Milius and USS Benfold completed maintenance faster than expected, thanks to the Japanese workforce

- says the Army Recognition publication.

In particular, Japanese contractors were entrusted with the complete replacement of the drive shaft on the USS Milius. After completing the relevant work, the ship has successfully completed sea trials and is now preparing for combat deployment.

Given the favorable completion of the experiment, we should expect an increasing transfer from the American shipbuilding industry of its competencies to Japanese shipyards.
