Yes, by then Japan had long been involved in the First World War, seizing many of Germany's former possessions in the Pacific. Japan's involvement was mainly a naval contribution, either directly when Japan sent destroyers to maintain anti-submarine patrols in the Mediterranean, or indirectly, as above. BTW, there is a Wikipedia article on the destroyers in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabe-class_destroyer
