Adapted from the Aoshima website:
With the world facing regional conflicts and international terrorism, the mission of the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (J.M.S.D.F.) ranges from national defense, oversea missions, rescue activities and supplying the U.S. and other allied forces. With an increasing need for international peace-keeping operations, supply ships, along with escort vessels, have become of great importance.
Construction on the Oumi began in 2003 by Universal Shipbuilding Corporation in Maizuru. Commissioned in March 2005, she currently belongs to Replenishment at Sea Squadron 1 and is stationed at Port of Sasebo. Her history includes:
