Dude near the end the Jmsdf flag isn't called the maritime flag it is still the rising sun flag or imperial japanese flag get ur facts straight
@CobraEmergency4 ай бұрын
The words said are, "So there we have the ensign of both naval forces, the Royal Navy official ensign, and the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force." The rising sun is the official ensign of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and previously the Japanese Imperial Navy. It's just the way it's worded. But the video narration doesn't refer to the flag as the 'Maritime flag'. Hope that clears things up.

Indeed. It was originally the UK who taught them how to design and build warships before the advent of the war in the Pacific. There were also a lot of Japanese Naval officers (and seamen??) who were enrolled in the UK's Naval Academy at the time. So you could say that the UK taught them everything they know.

During the Pacific War, the most active Japanese battleship was not the then state-of-the-art Yamato or Musashi, but the oldest, Kongo. Kongo was the only foreign-built battleship used by the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Pacific War, and was built in UK in 1913.

After having seen the river Thames myself, I can attest that there is absolutely nowhere else for that warship (or, indeed, that sailboat at the beginning) to go anywhere more than 500 feet beyond HMS Belfast, because London Bridge is about as high as the fixed spans of Tower Bridge and does not move. I'm surprised to see a ship this big this far up the river! Lots of love from America 🇺🇲🤝🇯🇵🤝🇬🇧 Ps, I just remembered that on the port side of Belfast is the World of Warships room, with 4 odd setups running WoW accounts as part of a sponsor deal with the museum. Imagine stopping your museum tour to kick gamer ass and then after 4 games you walk out on deck and on the starboard side is an entire warship that wasn't there before lmao

We are glad that in 1902, which we will never forget, you even broke your ‘Splendid Isolation’ and aligned yourselves with us. One Korean friend of mine said that without the efforts of Japan and Britain, the Korean peninsula would have been part of Russia or China by now. I do not mean to glorify the past, and what our ancestors did will never be forgiven. But what they did was at least not in vain. And now imperialism has changed its shape and is once again becoming a threat to the world. Japan and UK, who were once resented in many parts of the world as an imperialist country, should know the pain well enough. I hope that we Japanese and the British people will work together to realise world peace in the true sense of the word! 🇯🇵🤝🇬🇧

Considering how much cultural weight there is behind the Yamato name, a new warship bearing the name is extremely unlikely. If the name does get reused, it would likely be given to something larger than a destroyer (possibly a helicopter carrier like the Izumo or the Kaga), which means it would not fit in the Thames.
