From what I heard Admiral Nimitz being a fan of Admiral Togo spared the Mikasa.

Instead she was preserved at the request of the Japanese government, with her engines and armament removed, Those sure look like cannon barrels to me.

very reminiscent of our Great White Fleet that participated in the Span-Am war in 1898. Only the cruiser Olympia survives.

Wow, think of all the Pokemon you could find on that ship!!!
To: Gamecock
Yes. That’s right.
So, make sure that you are outside in a sufficiently large area before you click.

People forget that during WWI, Japan was on our side.

Thanks for posting. The naval race and warship design between 1890 and 1940 is an interesting time period.

Sorry, the only thing this ship can find is Queen Starsha on the planet Iscandar,

I'd rather tour the Yamato, but she's not too acessible.....

Only ‘cause they wanted the German possessions in the Pacific.
They were considering both sides before they decided on the allies.

Mikasa Park, where the vessel is moored, is on the far side of Yokosuka NB vis-à-vis the Yokosuka line’s train station, about a mile away from the station. If you take the Keihin “red train” and get off at Yokosuka Chuo station, however, it’s about a half mile walk to the park, all downhill through the shopping district outside of the base. On Google Maps there are some pictures, but no street view as far as I can tell.

Yes but did they have a wave motion cannon?
