Just walk inside the 120-year-old battleship "Mikasa" in Yokosuka, Japan 

Well, it's a defeated country and I understand that the Soviet Union at the time wanted to disband.

@@iwillgiveittoyouwhocantsle3129 yes a shame seeing as by 1945-6 mikasa was no longer a threat to anyone being already in concrete and also being a vessel without modern range finding systems. It was purely a spiteful move seeing as Togo defeated the russians in 1905 with mikasa.

20年位前に来た時は、もっと大きくて着弾の水柱の代わりの綿棒が出たり入ったりしてたイメージがあったのですが…

It seems like there are a lot of problems... But the British Empire was and still is great.

It takes 6 and a half hours by Shinkansen from Yokosuka Station to Kure Station, and 5 and a half hours by plane...　 If you use the sleeper express Sunrise (transfer at Okayama Station), you can save time by traveling while you are sleeping.

Even now, it is surprisingly little known. It's strange.

The Dock Museum looks interesting too

Thank you very much for your mission to protect the peace of the world. The town of Yokosuka is charming. It seems to be difficult because it costs a lot of money to save

I'm glad you left it behind.The size is impressive. I hope the Yamato Museum will also exhibit something life-size.

Maintenance costs come from the national defense budget. It looks like it will rust easily if exposed to the sea breeze, but I want it to be preserved forever.

There was also a war with the United States. It's a lucky ship. It's on land, but maintenance is difficult.

@@iwillgiveittoyouwhocantsle3129 I heard the Battleship New Jersey mention Mikasa when talking about maintenance techniques. A challenge for sure, so far no "perfect" preservation for muesum ships has been found.

Iowa-class battleship New Jersey, a strong American symbol. The strongest and fastest. The overall balance is also beautiful. I want her to remain forever in the future. If she keeps mooring in the sea, maintenance will be difficult, but I want her to do her best

@@iwillgiveittoyouwhocantsle3129 I've been watching the various videos on the New Jersey and USS Texas. I just happened across your video on the Mikasa, I was born in Yokosuka and it caught my eye. USS Texas is finishing up a year in drydock and an extensive major repairs to her hull and some hull structures, and a hull repaint. She's looking good now. The New Jersey will be going into drydock (could be the same one she was built in) in the next month or so to clean and re-coat, repaint at and below the waterline, change the zincs to aluminum (since she's in a freshwater river), and check/repair a few possible leak points where the water inlets were blanked over

Too many people don't understand how precious this is.

It was Japanese navy ship not British.

​@@gutsjoestar7450 Mikasa was a British built vessel for the Imperial Japanese Navy.

@@sebastianalvaradocolon5983 they hired the British to build a ship so it's theirs isn't it. Guess what language the crew were speaking

I don't know how to edit(^_^;)

It's beautiful considering it's exposed to the sea breeze.Thank you to those who manage it

The real thing is even more impressive. It's hard to believe that this ship is over 120 years old. As expected of England

thank you to you too

There are no other warships left...it's almost a miracle.

Are you from the US Navy? Just being there is a deterrent. I am always grateful for your help

I think it was just luck that I wasn't attacked. A nearby destroyer has been attacked. A high-ranking American military official who disliked the Soviet Union worked hard to preserve it. There are various opinions, but I think it's a good idea to solidify it with concrete that won't be eroded by seawater.

It was heavily damaged during the war, and after. Read the last section (Preservation) on Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_battleship_Mikasa

It must be difficult to preserve the ship as it is prone to corrosion due to seawater and sea breeze, but I hope you will do your best.

@iwillgiveittoyouwhocantsle3129 it was heartbreaking to see the Texas with so many holes in her torpedo blisters and hull when she was finally put in drydock. Her pumps were fighting to keep the water out everyday. It's hard to keep these ships in good condition but it's always worth the effort to save them

Preservation requires constant time and money. Stupid leftists are making a fuss about wasting tax money.

Sadly, government entities and other people don't realize the importance of preservation and would rather see the money go elsewhere. Just as the State of Texas diverted funds meant to repair the Texas

We will be closed from December 28th to 31st. New Year's Day starts on the 1st. be careful

@@iwillgiveittoyouwhocantsle3129 perfect as I’m leaving on the 28th!

🕺

It's not published. There are stairs going down, but they are restricted. I'd like to see it though.

Certainly a beautiful woman. You can see the high level of British shipbuilding.

Thank you for your hard work on your mission for peace. Battleship Mikasa remained in the same position. She was also unharmed by bombing during the war. After the war, the Soviet Union asked for the ship to be dismantled, and Japan asked for its preservation, so a compromise was reached in which the main gun, bridge, and mast were removed. 1950 ruins. Marshal Nimitz worked hard to restore it and it reached its current state in 1961. In 1955, it was undergoing restoration work.The main guns, bridge, and mast of the Chilean naval battleship Almirante Latorre, which were built at Barrow-in-Furness in England during the same period, were used for the restoration.

and now the midway is a beautiful museum ship itself!

They are still building nuclear submarines. It is an important town that is essential for peace in England and peace in the world. Thank you to everyone at Barrow-in-Furness.
