Construction and career
Makishio was laid down at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kobe Shipyard on 6 March 1996 and launched on 26 November 1998. She was commissioned on 9 March 2000 and deployed to Yokosuka.[2][3]
On 6 August 2008, she left Kure for Hawaii for the major naval exercise RIMPAC 2008, and she returned to Kure on 12 November.
The submarine participated in RIMPAC 2019 from 30 March to 29 June 2019, and she conducted offshore training and facility use training in the Hawaiian Islands area.[4]
Upon Oyashio's decommissioning on 17 March 2023, Makishio was converted to a training submarine as a replacement.[5]
