Mikasa park is right next to Fleet Activities (FLEACT), Yokosuka, where I served (active duty) for three years & as a civilian for six years. Mikasa park, which is the area you see in the video (off her port side), has small concerts, often during the summer months. Forward of the ship, you can see a portion of FLEACT, Yokosuka. I miss Japan (lived there for 12 years). Lol! I used to work with Kazou (the guy around the 5:40 mark). I worked public affairs on Kitty Hawk & FLEACT Yokosuka Public Affairs. He would coordinate with us for tours of certain things & we would accompany him on tours. He used to translate for us, sometimes, when we had Japanese tour groups. He is a cool, laid-back dude.
I miss Japan. I am disappointed in our nation. After 12 years of living in Japan, I come back to the U.S. to find it is a shit-hole. Me (& my family) want out. We are looking to emigrate elsewhere.
H HAGI, yes, I know. I had Y plates on my car. But, I preferred Japan more when I was a civilian & not working for the U.S. government. I had more freedom as a civilian in Japan than a U.S. government employee.
I was in Yokosuka three months ago to visit the ship. Too bad I came there from Yokohama at past noon. I only knew about the Military Shop and the curry restaurants on the way home. Much of Mikasa was under scaffolding when I came
During the Battle of Tsushima, Ensign Yamamoto served aboard the Armored Cruiser Nisshin, which was part of the Mikasa’s screen. Yamamoto saw the close up tactics of Admiral Togo and above all; the need for surprise in battle. It’s hard to think that both Togo and Isoroku were the most notable admirals of the Combined Fleet.
Up through the 1920s it was commonplace for battleships to have submerged torpedo tubes. They proved to not be very useful and largely got removed from ships that lasted long enough to get WW2-era refits.
That ship was built in a time when products were built to last and craftsmanship was valued. That English style instrumentation and even the woode deck looks stunning.
While stationed on USS Midway from 1984 to 1992 I took several tour abroad the Mikasa. It was awesome to walk through it and step back in time to another era in Naval Warfare!
Two points to add. 1. It was Chester Nimitz who did the main part of the job to restore Mikasa after WW2. He admired Admiral Togo so much that he didn't want to see Mikasa being used as a dance hall. 2. Admiral Togo in his old age became a stumbling stone in IJN. While most of the officers at the Navy Department including Isoroku Yamamoto were strongly for maintaining somehow good relationship with UK and US, some officers, extreme nationalists, used Togo and his honor to justify their idea. Togo in those days was already detached from up-to-date reality of the world and became influence to belittle the importance of the relationship among IJN. This eventually led Japan to Pearl Harbour attack.
The Pre-Dreadnoughts and the ships of World War I (not necessarily mutually exclusive) are really underrated and under appreciated. I won't deny the newer ships are better and more effective but there's a certain beauty of the old pre-dreadnoughts and the like.
The invasion of Korea by Hideyoshi was a failure... his overall plan was to invade China by way of the Korean Peninsula and the 3 kingdoms of Korea pushed Japan off the Peninsula.
I mean... It's capitalism bruh. Preserving ships? Well how much money does that make me, considering the refit and upkeep? None? Maybe even negative? Oh well. But scrapping the ship, hmmm all them sweet sweet scrap metal I can sell for money... Hmm yes, money...
@@Marcosmex556 Wait, Britain is not capitalism? Oh gosh sorry this is actually news to me. So, is Britain communist? God who could have imagined, that Britain was actually communist? That's really ground-breaking. But I guess it makes sense, all the tea that they drink from China would slowly turn them into communists from the inside of their stomach. Thanks for pointing me towards this obvious truth that I somehow missed. Thank you.
@@Marcosmex556 and who the fuck said anything about the "simbol" of capitalism? Britain is capitalist, so they behave capitalist, "simbol" or not. End of story.
well that was one, another fact is that the Russian Navy was cocky as fuck, because no eastern nation has ever beaten a western nation. (got their ass kicked twice.) hell russia was soo pissed at that they technically never ended WWII with Japan, so technically speaking, WWII is the second longest war ever.
Before the Atomic Bombs were dropped Russia and The US were planning a mass invasion of Japan. the US to mostly end the War. Russia was both to end it and to avenge there humiliation of what happened to the Russian Imperial Fleet back in the Russian-Japanese War. The Russians had a habit of holding a grudge
Wanted?? They still do. Like I said Russia loves to hold a grudge. Lets be honest having your fleet decimated and humiliated as bad as what happened to the Russians by the Japanese Imperial Navy tends to leave a scar that doesn't heal. Hell the fact that they are still sour too this day about it even after several government changes shows how royally pissed they are about it and would like nothing more then to shove it to Japan.
I'm suprised the Mikasa survived WW2, considering that just about every Japanese ship except one the IJN Nagato which later became one of many WW2 ships used and sunk in the Bikini Atoll A-bomb Test.
Well, she's already encased in concrete since Washington Naval Treaty, way before WW2 starts. So she never served WW1. Encased because that was the only way she can escaped being sunk or scrapped due to said Naval Treaty.
This ship is one of my favourites, and she was great in the battle of Tsushima straits, which is my favourite Naval Battle. The reason it is is because this was the first time an Asian power defeated a Eurpoean power in a large scale war and it put Japan firmly on the world stage as a force to be reckoned with
Another pre-dreadnought ship that might be considered for Tier 2 would be the USS Olympia, flagship of Adm. Dewey during the Battle of Manila Bay. Hopefully this historic ship makes its way ingame.
Nagato and early Amagi designs had them, hell Colorado had them, Bayern had them and so on,nearly all pre tier 5s had them, tho some like kongo had them removed
Lol the Russian historian says the Japanese victory was from luck and inexperience. As if equipment, professional leadership, diligent training and morale had no bearing on the outcome.
@@CheshireDCat I forgot the source, but I think Russian fleet was running short of coal supply. So it's either miss the battle for using the longer and safer route or push through to regroup with reinforcement.
Sorry for that historians they didn't realize that how shameful to lose inexperienced and weaker enemies I mean not only Japanese but also Ukrainian destroyed flagship Moskva
I have mikasa in game! I was about to sell her, but after I watched this I decided to keep it, since she is such a famous ship! Also I kept Cruiser Aurora as well!
Interesting fact, future Admiral Isuroku Yamamoto served during the battle of Tsushima, where he was wounded and lost two fingers as a result, fortune would spare him the loss of a 3rd finger which would have barred him from reenlistment in the navy. This fact would come to haunt the allies 20 years later. As for the British, Japanese alliance, after the Washington Naval Treaty Japan was forced to not renew its alliance with Britain as one of the key conditions on the treaty that was pushed by the American delegation, the Americans had viewed Japan as a naval rival after the Japanese victory at Tsushima, and they were very keen to see an end to this strategic alliance as a means of further isolating Japan and thus keeping them out of the American sphere of influence in the Pacific.
It really wasn't. It's just a slightly tweaked Majestic class, which is pretty much the standard pre-dreadnought of its time. Britain built 9 Majestics for itself, and then built 8 Formidable and London class battleships, which were slightly larger. Nothing wrong with Mikasa, it was a good ship, but as soon as it was completed, better ships were already being built.
Great Docs guys!!! Japan was able to win this Naval War just because their country was right next to the Yellow Sea and Korea and that gave them a bid more time than Russia and also The anglo-japanese pact of 1903 gave Japan a huge help🤔!!!
+kurumi kota kinda like the Japanese had the head start on the US destroyed the pacific fleet but failed to capitalize....... so that equals less legend or something
I visited the Mikasa in October 2024 and was impressed by the way she has been preserved. It is a very interesting museum. Be aware however that due to ongoing maintenance and repairs access forward of the leading funnel is impossible. So no visit to the bridge and forecastle for me which was disappointing. From the looks of the ongoing work I would guess that the whole ship will not be fully open until mid 2025 but worth checking. The displays and information below decks in the galleries was very interesting with much of it in English. Visit recommended. Entrance fee approx £3!
For some reason this video always reminds me of the battlecruiser hmas Australia, the only capital ship to serve in the Australian Navy, there was a massive push to preserve here after WW1, but unlike the mikasa , it failed and she was scuttled off Sydney heads in 1924, to comply with the terms of the Washington Treaty. In my opinion this was a big mistake as many Aussies including myself would have paid good money to explore the pride of the Australian navy during WW1.
Many of present Mikasa's details are re-use of those of former Chile's battleship " which was demolished in Japan in 1958. The battleship, completed as HMS Canada in 1915 at Armstrong Whitworth, contained a lot of replaceable parts for derelict Mikasa.
Yes. I think there was also a story where the Japanese were presented with the Mikasa’s original blueprints as a guide to the restoration. It turned out they already kept the parts that were stripped away after the war.
This ship was just your run of the mill pre drednought when she was built. But now she had 3 major titles: the last warship of the IJN, the only non- American preserved battleship, and the last pre drednought.
In the 1960s (Yes I'm that old !) I went to Walney County Secondary School in Barrow-in-furness, The school was on the corner of Ocean Road and Mikasa Street. The school was demolished in the 1990s ,but Mikasa Street is still there . Vickers Armstrong also built the Japanese battlecruiser Kongo just before the First World War she outclassed Royal Navy Capital ships of the time. So much that the British built the Lion, Tiger and Princess Royal
@@kkhagerty6315 Not at all I also have Dreadnought and a few more early first Generation Dreadnoughts. You need to have a effective strategy I never go head on with Mikasa, maneuver is the key..
The British already knew how to build Mikasa, shes a modified version of the pre-Dreadnaught Majestic class. SHe was expensive because she was being sold, its a mark up.
Really enjoyed watching this piece & learning about this incredible warship which was constructed by UK for the IJN at the turn of the 20th century. This ship's mechanicals & weapons were build based on the average UK sailor's strength...So the IJN sailor had to forced on a high protein diet to build muscle?!? The "magazine explosion" was an accident I assume...but it did happen on Sept 11th - 1905...Sept 11th strikes again if this is correct.

Vickers Armstrong also built the Japanese battlecruiser Kongo just before the First World War she outclassed Royal Navy Capital ships of the time. So much that the British built the Lion, Tiger and Princess Royal
Built in Brittain, used the Japanese, recondition by the Brits with the help of Admiral Nimtz and still looking good,
Looks like the majestic ship
I use a Mikasa in the game if I want some early pre dreadnought action. Properly handled she can be formidable despite her two main guns.
David Miraglia being honest hear main guns are her secondaries if you get within range of those things it’s all over
@@kkhagerty6315 Not at all I also have Dreadnought and a few more early first Generation Dreadnoughts. You need to have a effective strategy I never go head on with Mikasa, maneuver is the key..
Mikasa
Aot fans: ...
The British already knew how to build Mikasa, shes a modified version of the pre-Dreadnaught Majestic class. SHe was expensive because she was being sold, its a mark up.
Admiral Togo, a real Legend.
アニメの「進撃の巨人」の「ミカサ・アッカーマン」のミカサは、この戦艦三笠から名付けられた。
ファイナルシーズンの始まりの高地要塞の攻防のシーンは、日露戦争の２０３高地の攻防と瓜二つである。
Well in blitz I once fought Mikasa in my destroyer and she was destroying everyone I launch like a full salvo of torpedos just to destroy her
Damn those dreadnoughts had some of that op torp experience.
It's sad that few mention the fire and magazine explosion that sank Mikasa and killed 251 of her crew (she was raised and repaired)
I was last year there and I played whit the canons. Good memories. :')
I really want to see naval legends of Enterprise!!!
Really enjoyed watching this piece & learning about this incredible warship which was constructed by UK for the IJN at the turn of the 20th century. This ship's mechanicals & weapons were build based on the average UK sailor's strength...So the IJN sailor had to forced on a high protein diet to build muscle?!?
The "magazine explosion" was an accident I assume...but it did happen on Sept 11th - 1905...Sept 11th strikes again if this is correct.
Legends says Mikasa still confused with technology
XD
Azur lane
Do for a next episode Naval Legends Błyskawica for it being the oldest destroyer in Europe and the best AA defense of her type!
*AoT/SnK intensifies
I suspect that Mikasa will arrive to NA's server soon, this video is proof that gears are turning.
well I have good news for you sir this ship is in the game but the bad news is you need 150 kills to get the ship
+Robert Brown sweet! I'm eager to get it
+PhantomXT I am too that's why I've been doing Tier 1 farming kills I know that's bad but I want to get a hundred and fifty kills in the next 28 days
Sooooooo..... When are you going to sell the mikasa on NA for the first time?
yeah, it would be nice
If they do I hope they patch it with those underwater torpedo tubes :)
u can get it now for free by doing the missions that just came out
+MrJc but you gotta work for it if you really want it because you need 150 kills to get the ship
thats insane...
