The US Navy has deployed to southwestern Japan a new amphibious assault ship that can carry advanced F-35B stealth fighter jets.
The USS Wasp entered Sasebo port in Nagasaki Prefecture around 9 AM on Sunday. It is replacing another amphibious assault ship, the USS Bonhomme Richard.
The Wasp is about 250 meters long and has a displacement of more than 40,000 tons. It can carry about 1,100 crewmembers, as well as 1,600 Marines.
The Wasp has been upgraded to accommodate Osprey transport aircraft and landing craft. It can also land and launch F-35Bs already deployed to the US military base in western Japanese city of Iwakuni.
The ship's deployment comes as North Korea continues missile and nuclear provocations, and China enhances maritime activities in the Asia-Pacific region.
The US Navy says the Wasp's deployment is part of its long-term effort to position the most advanced and capable assets to the region.
It says the ship will allow the operation of F-35Bs at sea and on land, and represents an increase in its military capability.
Dozens of labor union members gathered at the port to protest the deployment. They say it will only escalate tension and that forces won't bring peace.

Authorities in the US state of Hawaii have apologized for the false emergency alert on Saturday that warned of an imminent missile attack by North Korea. They say human error was to blame.
Hawaii Governor David Ige and Emergency Management Agency officials explained at a news conference that an agency employee pushed the wrong button during a shift change.
Ige apologized for the error, saying it affected many people. He said the state will take steps to ensure it will never happen again.
The warning was sent as a text message to mobile phones at 8:07 AM, local time.
It said: "Emergency alert ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill."
It was retracted 38 minutes later, in a second message stating that there was no missile threat or danger and that the first message had been a false alarm.
The officials say the employee in question realized the mistake when he found the message on his own mobile phone.
Local media say the false alert set off widespread panic among tourists, as well as residents of the Pacific island state. Boarding procedures were suspended at the international airport in Honolulu.

Abe arrived in Lithuania on Saturday on the 3rd leg of his tour of 3 Baltic nations.
In a meeting with Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis, Abe warned that North Korea has test-fired ballistic missiles that can reach the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius. He described it as a threat to all of Europe.
Skvernelis said that Lithuania wants to develop strategic ties with Japan built on historical bilateral relations.
The 2 leaders agreed to work together to increase pressure on the North. They will also promote cooperation between Japan and Lithuania in such fields as economy, science and technology, and healthcare.
At a joint news conference, Abe stressed that peace and prosperity should be founded on respecting basic values such as freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law and keeping the world free and open.
Abe said he had meaningful discussions with the Lithuanian leader on imposing more pressure on North Korea and the abduction of Japanese nationals by the North.
Skvernelis expressed full support for Japan's stance toward Pyongyang. He said nuclear development should be pursued by observing international promises and any activities that could raise tensions or threaten peace and security in the region should be avoided.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has donated 33 million dollars to a scholarship fund to support undocumented high school graduates who were brought to the US by their parents.
TheDream.US, the organization that runs the scholarship program, said on Friday that the richest man in the world and his wife had made the donation.
The fund says the gift will give 1,000 high school graduates the opportunity to go to college.
The administration of President Donald Trump announced last September that it would phase out a program that gives amnesty to some young illegal immigrants.
The measure was introduced by former President Barack Obama in 2012. About 800,000 of the "Dreamers" are now facing deportation.
The president of the fund said the donation is "a shot in the arm for Dreamer students at a time when some are questioning whether they should be in the United States at all."
Bezos said his father landed in the US when he was 16 and unable to speak English, but he received help from some remarkable organizations.

China's aviation authority has asked international airlines to check their websites to ensure they do not list Taiwan as a separate country.
The move comes after the Civil Aviation Authority of China demanded a correction and an apology from Delta Air Lines of the United States for its website listing Taiwan and Tibet as countries. China deems them inseparable parts of the nation.
Delta issued an apology on Friday.
On Saturday the Chinese authority ordered all international airlines operating routes to China to immediately check if their websites refer to Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau as countries.
The notice urges those listing Taiwan and the other regions as countries to correct the references immediately, warning legal measures will be taken if they do not.
China's online media, The Paper, reported that 24 carriers, based in such countries as Japan, the United States, Russia and France, list Taiwan and other Chinese-claimed territories as countries in their customer questionnaires.
The Chinese authorities are tightening grip on the Internet after the law censoring cyberspace went into effect last June.
