 The previous year, Japan declined an invitation to attend South Korea's own review since it was contingent on a JMSDF warship not raising the "Kyokujitsu-ki" during the review, a condition with which Japan said it could not comply.In the hours prior to the landfall of Typhoon Hagibis, American naval forces in Japan were ordered to sortie.The JMSDF ultimately canceled the 2019 Fleet Review due to widespread damage and flooding in the Tokyo area.
