- description: WW3: China vs Japan Islands Dispute - Japan navy tri-annual fleet review Japan's Marine Self Defense Force has held a tri-annual review, showcasing destroyers and missiles in a major display of military power. More than 8 thousand troops and 39 ships took part in Thursday's operation in Sagami Bay. It included vessels equipped with the advanced Aegis radar system, as well as conventionally powered submarines and high-speed hovercraft. 32 Japanese planes also joined the manouvers. Japan has one of the largest and best equipped militaries in the world. But its role is limited to a strictly defensive role, by the country's post-World War II constitution. The review comes amid the heightened tension with Japan's Asian neighbours over territorial issues. Tokyo is currently embroiled in a standoff with Beijing and Taiwan over a disputed chain of mineral-rich islands in the East China Sea, which each nation claims as its own.
