The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force test ship JS Asuka (ASE-6102) was seen undergoing a launch tank swap for a new type of anti-ship missile, the naval version of the 12SSM-ER. Judging by the pictures, the ship has already fired all four missiles, and the crew is now changing the tanks for another round of tests.
