(Asien) Japanische Küstenwache

[Broensen]

(gut möglich aber auch, dass für diese Schiffe noch stillschweigend andere Aufgabenfelder vorgesehen sind)...

Nun, der Artikel benennt das ja auch ganz klar:

the vessel would be tasked with evacuating residents from Japan’s southwestern islands and other island regions in the event of a Chinese military invasion.

The Japanese government is currently seriously considering how to safely evacuate its citizens in the event of a military conflict with China. While the Self-Defense Forces are expected to assist with transportation, they would need to focus on combat operations during such a crisis, leaving little capacity for evacuation efforts. Therefore, the JCG and other agencies are planning to handle civilian evacuations, with the MPPV playing a central role in these operations.

To this end, the MPPV is expected to resemble a large transport ship or ferry. While will be classified as a patrol vessel, the JCG doesn’t plan to fit weapon systems aboard the vessel.
