Launching of JS Agano (FFM-6), sixth Mogami-class frigate of the JMSDF. I don't know why she's dressed up like Mikuma, I'll let someone else illuminate me.
Whenever you see a Japanese kanmusu in the Current Events pool, 99.9% of the time it's because JMSDF launched or commissioned a new ship. (Or boat, in the case of submarines.)

Mikuma is in the WWII Mogami class. The artist is borrowing her outfit to represent the modern Mogami class.

Ohh, that makes sense. Thanks, that hadn't come to mind.
