Senior Japanese and ROK Military Leaders Together Visit a U.S. Nuclear Submarine for the First Time

Just another example of the growing trilateral cooperation between the ROK, Japan, and the U.S.:

The U.S. military has revealed South Korean, U.S. and Japanese submarine commanders jointly boarded an American nuclear ballistic missile submarine for the first time last month, in a sign of bolstering trilateral cooperation against North Korean threats.

On the Pentagon’s Defense Visual Information Distribution Service, it posted a series of photos showing the three officials aboard the USS Maine, an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, in the vicinity of Guam on April 18.

The three were Rear Adm. Lee Su-youl, the commander of the South Korean Navy’s Submarine Force; Rear Adm. Rick Seif, the commander of the U.S.’ Submarine Group 7; and Vice Adm. Tateki Tawara, the commander of Japan’s Fleet Submarine Force.

That picture has more Japanese seamen than Bukkake Pool Party 3.

Adm Seif looks very uncomfortable… as if the Japanese Admiral had asked a question using the wrong pronouns for the burly drag queen just off camera to the right of the shot.
