[Japanese people protest against the Maritime Self-Defense Force’s test-firing of the Tomahawk missile in the U.S.] On September 11, many Japanese people held a rally in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture to protest against the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s destroyer Chokai returning to the Sasebo base after completing a test-firing of the Tomahawk cruise missile in the United States. The protesters held banners and placards with words such as "Don't deploy missiles in Sasebo" and "Oppose the deployment of missiles for pre-emptive attacks", and chanted slogans such as "No Tomahawk". Protesters believe that the Maritime Self-Defense Force's move will bring huge security risks to the local area. It is reported that the "Chomi" was dispatched to the United States in September last year. In July this year, it completed the first test-fire of the "Tomahawk" cruise missile by a Maritime Self-Defense Force warship off the coast of the United States, and returned to its home port of Sasebo base at the end of August.
