A little while ago, one of the people I know in Tokyo sent me an email alerting me to an SDF ship of some kind being scheduled to dock in Kagoshima, down at the waterfront park in front of Dolphin Port. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get down there soon enough, and I missed it. But, just on the off-chance, I did walk to the Port after one of my evening classes a couple days later, and I found a completely different ship. I had no idea what it was, so I took some photos and went back home to look it up on the net.
Turns out that it's the Shinsei Maru, which the JAMSTEC site identifies as a "東北海洋生態系調査研究船" - Northeast Japan Ocean Ecosystem Investigative Research ship." Kind of pretty.
