Где-то выше писали, что американцы в конце 1970-х нагнули японцев на специальный статус пяти ключевых проливов, чтобы корабли с ядерным оружием на борту бодро ходили - уменьшили территориальные воды до 3 миль.
Japan's territorial waters extend to three nautical miles (5.6 km) into the strait instead of the usual twelve, reportedly to allow nuclear-armed United States Navy warships and submarines to transit the strait without violating Japan's prohibition against nuclear weapons in its territory.
Japan has avoided extending its territorial waters to cover five key straits to avoid political disputes arising from the passage of U.S. warships carrying nuclear weapons, according to accounts of former top Japanese officials. When the boundaries were set in the late 1970s, it was believed the U.S. would have continued to transport nuclear weapons through the channels regardless of whether they were considered Japanese territorial waters or not.
