The 22,000-tonne warship, the largest Royal Navy ship to visit Japan, docked in Tokyo, where it will conduct ship tours for the general public, Japanese officials, and defence industry executives.
An onboard contingent of around 120 Royal Marines will train with Japanese Self-Defence Force troops including joint landings with new Japanese marine units on a beach near Mount Fuji. The Albion’s commander said their visit is part of a much broader commitment of the Royal Navy to the Asia Pacific in 2018.
