List of Japan Coast Guard vessels and aircraft.

Fleet

PLH (Patrol Vessel Large With Helicopter)

PLH 31 berthed in Kawasaki shiyard
  • 2 Helicopter class
  • 1 Helicopter class
    • Tsugaru class
      • Ryūkyū class (Refine Tsugaru class)
    • Soya

Note: As of March 5th 2013, it was being reported that the Japanese government were considering the transfer of four small destroyers [frigates] (later confirmed to be of the Hatsuyuki class) from the MSDF to the JCG, in light of the extreme strains on the latter's resources due to current events. Of the four, one has already been decommissioned (in March 2013), with the other three to decommission over the course of FY2013. If the transfer goes ahead, the four vessels will likely be modified to JCG requirements (e.g. removal of the Harpoon launchers) and redesignated as PLHs.
