Bingo (びんご) is a surveillance ship of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the fourth ship of the Hibiki class. She was named after the Bingo Sea, which spans across the central Seto Inland Sea.[1] This makes her the first ship to be named in this manner, as the Imperial Japanese Navy never had a ship named after the Bingo Sea.[2]
