The 52-year-old Adm. Kitagawa has been at the forefront of Japan's growing engagement with the U.S. In November, he was aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, working side by side with his U.S. counterparts, as he commanded a Japanese fleet in a bilateral exercise in the waters near Okinawa. Soon after Japan's nuclear disaster in March last year, Adm. Kitagawa was at a U.S. base near Tokyo, advising U.S. naval officers as they prepared barges filled with fresh water for cooling overheating reactors. There, the barges were handed over to the MSDF and then carried up the coast to Fukushima.
现年52岁的北川文之一直走在日本深化与美国安全合作的前沿。去年11月,他曾登上美国乔治·华盛顿号核动力航空母舰(USS George Washington),在日本冲绳县附近海域举行的双边军演中与美国同事并肩协作。他负责指挥日本舰队。去年3月日本核灾难爆发后不久,北川文之便出现在东京附近的一个美国军事基地,向正在准备驳船的美国海军提出建议。这些驳船满载冷却过热反应堆的淡水。驳船在这个基地交给日本海上自卫队,然后由日方负责开到福岛。
And as part of the Rimpac exercise from June 27 to Aug. 7, Adm. Kitagawa helped command naval officers from countries that Japan had occupied or invaded during World War II, including South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
环太平洋军演从6月27日持续到8月7日,作为演习的一部分,北川文之协助指挥来自二战期间日本占领或侵略过的国家的海军官兵,这些国家包括韩国、马来西亚、菲律宾和印度尼西亚。
