In all photos except the last, the US is the senior to Japan, the junior. In the last picture, Japan takes the lead. USPACOM stands by Japan.
More revealing pics in the article bellow: US sending 2 warships to Japan to counter NKorea http://news.yahoo.com/us-sending-2-warships-japan-counter-nkorea-052718259--politics.html “In unusually forceful remarks about China, Hagel drew a direct line between Russia's takeover of Ukraine's Crimea region and the ongoing territorial disputes between China, Japan and others over remote islands in the East China Sea. "I think we're seeing some clear evidence of a lack of respect and intimidation and coercion in Europe today with what the Russians have done with Ukraine," Hagel told reporters after a meeting with Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera. "We must be very careful and we must be very clear, all nations of the world, that in the 21st century this will not stand, you cannot go around the world and redefine boundaries and violate territorial integrity and sovereignty of nations by force, coercion and intimidation whether it's in small islands in the Pacific or large nations in Europe."
