There is apparently two rooms in her that are filled with fan art and posters from Azur Lane https://i.redd.it/e71ilyu48jy21.jpg How typically Japanese to embrace some sort of anime mascot, She is best ship waifu. At one point I had over a 65% win ratio with the Mikasa in World of Warships player-vs-player, for about nine months I was considered the best Mikasa player on the North American server, the only real notable video game achievement I've ever had, but I stop playing World of Warships because of other bullshit that is just inherent to the game But she is now on the English server of Azur Lane, i will have to get the PC conversion for it since it is a mobile game https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/w/images/thumb/c/cf/Mikasa.png/686px-Mikasa.png

We and the Japanese refer to ships as “she”, due to convention and tradition. I believe much of the western world as well. And the Russians (who I understand call ships “he”) aren’t a huge influence in Anime. Probably more what you’re seeing. Though there must be something out there somewhere, the Internet being what it is. |

She’s moored next to the US Navy base at Yokosuka at a small park. I’ve toured her at least 3 times. Still mighty impressive and immaculately preserved. Nary a special of rust on her, very well taken care of. Museum ships are tremendously expensive to maintain so I can’t blame the museum for doing anime events to attractive new younger audiences. The Sino-Japanese war really isn’t a relevant event to modern people.

Never knew of that ship at all, and to be encased in concrete since 1926 is amazing. I am still surprised it didn't get bombed during WW2, even with an order not to, by a stray bomb. We bombed the fuck out of Yokosuka. Also, if we had went through with the invasion the 45 caliber main guns could still have been used as a static defense, similar to bunkers.

The fact that it is encased in concrete has saved them who knows how many dollars over the years, trying to keep a ship maintain while it is still in salt water is the really expensive part. Quote HistoryQuoted:
