YOKOSUKA, Japan -- The ITS Francesco Morosini, an offshore patrol ship of the Italian Navy, on Thursday paid a port call to Yokosuka -- home to the U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force -- as part of a five-month deployment to the Indo-Pacific.
The Thaon di Revel-class patrol ship, the first Italian Navy asset to anchor at a Japanese port in 27 years, will moor at the MSDF's Yokosuka Naval Base for seven days.
