[Machine Translation] In the first feature article, we take a thorough look at the first major reorganization in several decades, which was revealed in the FY2025 budget request and greeted with great surprise. The familiar "convoy fleet" has been eliminated, and the new "surface fleet" is being reorganized. A former fleet commander, a regional commissioner, and a group commander examine the future of the fleet. The new ships that will appear in the new fleet will also be examined. The second feature is a study of the Japan Coast Guard's large patrol vessel, the PLH, which has been remarkably enlarged in recent years to the point where it rivals the MSDF's escort vessels. The second feature is a comprehensive study of the Japan Coast Guard's large patrol vessel, the PLH, from its birth to its latest model. A separate B5-size "Japanese Ship Calendar" is included as an appendix. Each photographer has taken their own photographs of these powerful vessels through interviews and aerial photography, and these photos will add color to the new year.
