The Raigei also features increased stealth capabilities and enhanced safety measures.
The vessel also includes several facilities designed for female crew members, marking a step towards inclusivity in the crew makeup. The delivery of the Raigei to the Japan MOD is a significant addition to the country’s naval defense capabilities.
