Construction and career

Makishio was laid down at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kobe Shipyard on 6 March 1996 and launched on 26 November 1998. She was commissioned on 9 March 2000[ dubious – discuss ] and deployed to Yokosuka. [2] [3]

On 6 August 2008, she left Kure for Hawaii for the major naval exercise RIMPAC 2008, and she returned to Kure on 12 November.[ citation needed ]

The submarine participated in RIMPAC 2019 from 30 March to 29 June 2019, and she conducted offshore training and facility use training in the Hawaiian Islands area. [4]

Upon Oyashio's decommissioning on 17 March 2023, Makishio was converted to a training submarine as a replacement. [5]
