Reuters quoted a Japanese Defense Ministry spokeswoman as saying that the exercise took place on September 13. The Kuroshio submarine and three other warships, including the Kaga helicopter destroyer, participated in the exercise. The spokeswoman stressed that this was the first time a Japanese submarine had participated in exercises in the East Sea. Previously, the Asahi Shimbun newspaper cited several sources revealing that the Japan Coast Guard conducted an anti-submarine exercise, including detecting enemy submarines using sonar equipment.
