@@REOGURUyeah. The circumstances that led to the war could have happened in essentially any country. And, there is no doubt about the resourcefulness, bravery, and warrior spirit of the Japanese. The recovery of Japan is another testament to the country’s abilities. It’s sad that militarism took such strong hold. Let’s never forget the lessons by the sacrifices of both our peoples from those times. 🇯🇵 🇺🇸 💪🏼

I agree, Kongo is beautiful. Interestingly, Kongo is built in UK at Vickers while all major modernization were done in Japan. Nagato and Yamato class are beautiful.
Interesting to see what happened to them after the war ended. Probably scrapped? Pretty cool and impressive how Japan could build such massive battleships.

@@higamerXD true. Americans do “love to come in an destroy everything”. That should’ve be factored into Japan’s plan for the Pearl Harbor raid. How is the Nagato different than the Texas? The Texas was on the winning side. As far as cutting up and salvaging the ships, at this point they were just ecological disasters.

Imperial Japan was hell bent on expansion and control of Asia, it had already been raping China, Burma, etc.. It then foolishly decided to attack the United States. The United States responded in kind, and Imperial Japan lost the War that they started. We were not playing God, and we were not just out destroying anything for the sake of destroying it. Unconditional Surrender meant that Japan was going to have to disarm themselves, as a result of their War of Aggression against their neighbors, and the United States.

Those fighting just wanted to end it as fast as possible and go home to the lives and families.

Were these warships scuttled by the Japanese or sunk in the harbor by Americans? The film is clearly American military footage documenting the dismantling of these wrecks. I think some of these ships were refloated for the U.S. nuclear bomb test at Bikini Atoll. One ship may be the Nagato.

Most of them were destroyed by Kure harbor air strike of 7/24/1945 to 7/29. Most of them were refloated and scrapped for reconstruction material. BB Nagato and CC Sakawa were damaged but still capable for navigation at the end of war. So these two were used for Crossroad operation at Bikini atoll. It is inadequate for evaluation the bomb damage with wreck ship, isn't it?
