About JCG Shikishima

Shikishima was the lead ship of her class of long-range patrol ships built for the Japan Coast Guard (JCG). She was built by Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries, Tokyo. Planned to guard plutonium transport ships, the Shikishima class was the largest and heaviest-armed patrol vessel of the JCG. With her cruising capacity, she is capable of making voyages from Japan to Europe without making any calls. She was the only JCG ship equipped with anti-air radar and Oerlikon 35 mm twin cannons, so she has increased anti-air firepower. Usually, PL (Patrol vessels, Large) have only a navigation radar and a single-mounted 35 mm or 40 mm autocannon. And the JM61 20 mm Vulcan on the single-mounted remote weapon system later became a model for the 20 mm RFS (Remote Firing System), which is on modern PMs and PSs such as the Tsurugi-class PS.
