Japanese, and South Korean naval commanders toured a US ballistic missile submarine off Guam in what was described as a first. The tour of the USS Maine, an Ohio-class submarine, came just weeks before the Pentagon announced its decision to deploy one of the nuclear-powered vessels on regular patrols to the Korean peninsula. The move has been met with mixed reactions, with some analysts saying it is aimed at containing China rather than deterring North Korea. This paper aims to explore the implications of this development and what it means for the US, Japan, South Korea, and China.

The Tour of the USS Maine.
The tour of the USS Maine by US, Japanese, and South Korean naval commanders was described as a significant step in advancing the trilateral relationship between the three nations. The Seventh Fleet said it was an example of how the US had advanced a trilateral relationship that was "forward-leaning, reflective of shared values, and resolute against threats that challenge regional stability." However, it is unclear if the Maine is the same vessel that will be sent to the Korean peninsula. The deployment decision came after a request from South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol for the United States to deploy more of its strategic nuclear assets to deter North Korea from ramping up missile tests.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
