      @@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.

    I was home ported in Yokosuka on the USS Midway from ‘77 - ‘79 and there was no such memorial there at that time. They must have built it since, but I can only wonder where the old Battleship was back then, because it surely wasn’t in Yokosuka?

      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.

      @@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

    When I reported to CV62 CTF70 staff in 1995, the ship was underway in the Gulf Of Thailand. When it returned to Yokosuka, the next morning I took a walk around the area and I got a good look at her. She was in outstanding shape and was the beginning of my Interest in the Imperial Japanese Navy, especially after meeting and working with the JMSDF who are true professionals.

    While it is good that the decision was made to preserve the Mikasa, I was born nearby and would love to travel to visit, it is sad, the state of her preservation, sitting in concrete is a first that I've seen. Her well polished brass shows that some upkeep is being done but the rust showing all over in various places and her teak(?) decks will need a refinish or replacement soon. It's a shame that more below decks weren't open (the red deck) as well as the engineering and galley spaces. Perhaps it is an ongoing and future part of a tour route

    Thanks for the detailed tour of a very special ship. I am surprised it was not accidentally attacked in 1945 by a US Navy pilot. Was it camouflaged to hide it, because she certainly wasn't moving anywhere. Has the concrete damaged the hull after all those years?

      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.
