Does Japan get oil from the middle east or something? The other side of the Northern Hemisphere seems like a long way for it.

Japan cleaning up americas dipshit militarism and making one of the few things post ww2 treaties allowed them to build look really good/competent is great pr for girl-nobotsuke-kishi, the current pm. It's good optics. And its just sending a couple boats to do shit nobody would object to at that point.
