JS ***Makinami*** (まきなみ) is the third vessel of the [*Takanami*-class](/source/Takanami-class_destroyer) [destroyers](/source/Destroyer) of the [Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force](/source/Japan_Maritime_Self-Defense_Force) (JMSDF).

## Design

The hull design is generally based on the one of the [*Murasame* class](/source/Murasame-class_destroyer_(1994)). However, some weapons have been changed, as is the internal structure. And it was said that the large lattice mast was degrading its stealthiness in the *Murasame* class, so in this class, it was considered to change to two small masts, but it was not implemented.[1]

Although its displacement become slightly increased, there is no change in its main engines, as it is not a big difference that has little effect on the performance of the ship.[1]

## Construction and career

*Makinami* was authorized under the Medium-term Defense Buildup Plan of 1996, and was built by [IHI Marine United](/source/IHI_Corporation) shipyards in [Yokohama](/source/Yokohama). She was [laid down](/source/Keel_laying) on 17 July 2001, launched on 8 August 2002. She was commissioned into service on 18 March 2004.[2] and was initially assigned to the JMSDF Escort Flotilla 2 based at [Sasebo](/source/Sasebo%2C_Nagasaki).

*Makinami*, along with the fleet oiler *Towada* were assigned to the [Indian Ocean](/source/Indian_Ocean) in November 2006 to provide assistance in refueling anti-terrorist coalition forces in [Afghanistan](/source/Afghanistan) as part of [Operation Enduring Freedom](/source/Operation_Enduring_Freedom). She returned to Japan in March 2007.

Phalanx Close In Weapons System

In November 2010, *Makinami*, along with the destroyer [*Satogiri*](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JDS_Satogiri_(DDG-156)&action=edit&redlink=1), was dispatched to [Aden, Yemen](/source/Aden%2C_Yemen) to participate in [anti-piracy escort operations](/source/Piracy_in_Somalia) off the coast of [Somalia](/source/Somalia).[3] The [destroyer](/source/Destroyer) was part of the sixth rotation of JMSDF vessels patrolling in this region.[4] She undertook 28 sorties, returning to Japan on 11 January 2011. On 15 March 2011, she was reassigned to the JMSDF Escort Flotilla 3, based at [Ōminato](/source/%C5%8Cminato_Guard_District) in [Aomori Prefecture](/source/Aomori_Prefecture).

On 13 August 2012 *Makinami* was dispatched to Aden again, together with the destroyer [*Yugiri*](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JS_Yugiri_(DD-153)&action=edit&redlink=1), to resume anti-piracy escort operations off the coast of Somalia. The context for this extended deployment off the [Horn of Africa](/source/Horn_of_Africa) was the "Law on the Penalization of Acts of Piracy and Measures Against Acts of Piracy (Anti-Piracy Measures Law)".[5] Approximately 2,000 merchant ships with ties to Japan, Japan-flagged or operated by Japanese firms pass through the busy shipping zone each year.[6]

*Makinami* returned to Yokosuka on 11 February 2013 and remains assigned to the Third Squadron of the JMSDF Escort Flotilla 3. In October 2013, *Makinami* participated in the [International Fleet Review 2013](/source/International_Fleet_Review_2013) in [Sydney](/source/Sydney), Australia.[7]

In July 2021, it participated in the Pacific Vanguard 2021 (PACVAN) joint exercise off the coast of Australia.[8]

On 21 May 2022, *Makinami*, [*Asahi*](/source/JS_Asahi), and the [replenishment oiler](/source/Replenishment_oiler), [*Hamana*](/source/JS_Hamana) trailed the [PLAN](/source/People's_Liberation_Army_Navy) [*Liaoning*](/source/Chinese_aircraft_carrier_Liaoning) [carrier strike group](/source/Carrier_strike_group) going towards [Miyako-jima](/source/Miyako-jima).[9]
