Those two Japanese warships consist of an old Helicopter destroyer and one schooldship (a floating school) (the leading one), they are often traveling around the world visiting various countries, giving their cadets (future officers) international experiencse. It work also as an goodwill experience. The helicopter destroyer are their escort but also give the cadets to on an active warship as well. The cadet (shoolship) is JS Kashima, she only have an 76mm guns and 2 tripple torpedo tubes. She is after all just a school ship, it use places that normaly would hold weapons and other things, as classroms. The other ship: is one of the Hatakaze-class destroyer, a helicopter destroyer that was reclasified as Guided missile destroyer. It is equiped with anti ship missiles, rocket assisted torpedo (torpedo that fly out like a missile before it drop into the water), torpedo tubes, cannons and CIWS. The class is old and are nowadays used training ship and escort for cadet ship

Thank you!

I thought under the terms of the Japanese surrender after WW2 they had to disband all military forces.

[@Tribolumins]

​@@ralphnoneofyourbusiness7258Only offensive forces. They maintain a defensive force, although the current leadership is looking to relax that restriction under increasing pressure in the region from North Korea and China.

[@heuhen]

@@ralphnoneofyourbusiness7258 living under a rock... Japan have always had a military, the only things that changed for them was rule of engangment and how they can use their military. Those set of rules have they close to or almost totally removed or modified. For example they have now two Aircraft carriers, they are more in escort size carrier but it's an offensive weapon.

[@captainsojourn]

Hello Alejandro! Thanks for being willing to be filmed! Appreciate the value that you add by sharing your experience with the viewers.

[@michaelsommers2356]

Crossing the Pacific once, I woke up to find a sailboat right in the middle of our formation, between us and the carrier. Must have been a bit of a shock for them to wake up surrounded by a half dozen warships.

[@benjackson359]

We definitely need a proper meet the crew! Also a family update!

[@johngauntlett4915]

Tristan, it doesn't matter whether it's technical or not, you always put out good quality videos.

[@TheMcshawn]

The Japanese vessels weren't worried probably because they saw which vessel it was and are big fans of the channel. Knew the Captain was one sharp mariner.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

😂🙌

[@RobinWyse]

Hey Alejandro (I think that's right). You really had the perfect conditions, it looks stunning. I'm loving the new boat experience, feels like a really personal and relaxed yet informative.

[@Donald_Shaw]

Hello there Alejandro... Hope you have a great time and learn a lot under the tutelage of Captain Tristan.

[@robertfrost1683]

I have a friend who is retired from the US Navy and was a certified conning officer on a aircraft carrier. His challenge wqas " chasing the wind" to keep the ship in the proper course for aircraft launch and landing.

[@pef1960]

I have to say, I would love to see something of the guest accommodation...

[@Tomatflesk]

Great video Captain! Could you do an in-depth video about the fire suppression system on board?

[@seantwomey396]

A beautiful cruise that shows why yachting is so wonderful. I would tease a fair weather Captain but my sea sick prone daughter truly appreciates a Master who carefully plans their voyages.

[@bermont]

@Super Yacht Captain For the Murphy Engine monitor brightness control - hit the bottom round middle button for "USER SETTINGS" Brightness and Contrast are right there.

Can you explain why seven short and one long are both described as general emergency and abandon ship?

[@timothykelly7974]

The Mediterranean Sea is clean and very blue. It used to be quite murky but it all changed with the construction of the Aswan dam which holds back the massive yearly outflow of sediment.

[@user-dw8ud2hw5d]

very unusual to see en route vlogs, usually just a tour of the boat in port. Thanks SYC, please create more of this style of content so we can see how you operate the ships.

[@colbystensland2508]

I hope you are getting enough human interaction, comradery and fellowship to create a healthy sustainable environment Thank you again for sharing your experiences and allowing us a look into your world

[@mattWallJsy]

Great video 👍🏽 I think if I was going to be moored so close to the neighbours, I’d anchor off and use the tender instead 😃

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great episode! Safe passage to all aboard! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@harely4124]

OMG that wasn't you caught setting up beach party on a Sardinia was it 🤣🤣🤣 by the Italian coast guard

[@bobuncle8704]

Nice calm crossing. If only they could all be that relaxed.

[@cersos]

Grew up outside Groton CT. Prior to 9/11 we used to chase nuclear subs out of port on our little Grady White. Way too shallow for them to dive. The wake from one of those beasts is something to behold.

[@jcl410]

When I live in Hawaii, I sailed with a friend who kept his boat in Pearl Harbor. Once we were on the way out (under sail), we ended up on the port side of the channel when a destroyer started heading in.... I hailed him requesting a starboard to starboard passing to keep from crossing her bow.. Whomever answered the radio seemed confused. We held course, and everything turned out great! Are you editing your videos? They are really good! The B roll shots are great!

[@TheFenrisDragon]

I love that the wheelhouse is on the large side.

[@pauldavison7105]

The engine displays look like Jardum PV480 But seems to be a generic display as it's also available from "Enovation controls" as the 'Powerview 480' or 'Powerview 485' The 485 has a day/night mode accessed in the settings menu. But it will depend what software you are running probably.

[@G.J..Journeys]

Beautiful weather for your guests at a lovely destination

[@johngauntlett4915]

Tristan, at 7 minutes and 50 seconds, I like your Southernees, you sound like you're from the states around Appalachia.

[@henrycarlson7514]

So Wise , Thank You . The Japanese were probably out showing the flag and training . Thank You for showing such Beautiful Scenery

[@TradeWindgng]

Love it Great video Keep them coming please.

[@john9508]

Hi to Ali. That was a lovely trip and love the drone shots. It would be a great to do a bit of training with the coastguard/navy. That is a lovely final destination.

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Perfect crossing, no surprises, ideal weather, all systems operated perfectly. If only boating was always like this.

[@rogercouzens3150]

The 2 x Japanese warships were visiting Cape Town recently and must have transitioned up the West Coast of Africa into the Mediterranean! 😊

[@johngauntlett4915]

Tristan, they pack you in there like a boat show.

[@robertjordan4880]

Enjoyed the journey with you. Water is truly gorgeous.

[@MrCelzeron]

Just finished first day of Blues cruise at Notodden Blues festival, total 3 groups of 96 pax, live blues music onboard, Total 12 hour day

[@paulkersey2179]

I love it at night as well, thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@JCinMA257]

Great video. Nice to meet some of the crew. And great B-Roll!

[@sjcosh]

Great work Capt, fantastic video as usual. Please keep this style coming, love behind the scenes stuff.

[@markbates7638]

Hi Tristan a vessel underway is not anchored nor tied she is under the rudder

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Almost. But not quite

[@LawrenceBroussard]

Must be interesting to move in so close to another yacht! The water was beautiful and I also enjoy the water at night. It hard to put into words the feeling of nothingness but beauty at the same time.

[@davesemak]

Great video, beautiful scenery. I enjoyed the trip!

[@kristenpetillon5671]

So glad you are back on a boat as captain...

[@jasonlizotte4007]

Great passage and video, thank you for taking us along. It must be something to be alone in the wheel house at night with just your vessel and listening to the water..... Do you use technology to video with your family back home when you are on the water? Thank you for sharing your adventures and expertise with us.

[@Ddabig40mac]

Way to go keeping careers moving forward. Hello Alejandro!

[@petermartin4675]

Like watching your crossing,s and your docking when you can. Looks a nice boat you are on.

[@colin.chaffers]

Super cool content, so interesting to see what goes on during a passage

[@SJ-zb7zr]

Lovely video great to have these back

[@MarkN67]

I’m very surprised that the Japanese Navy didn’t ask you to alter course. I was on a dive boat recently and got close to HMS Dragon and it was made very clear to our skipper where we had to go!

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Hello Alejandro! Thank you!

[@Tribolumins]

I liked this vid. It was a good depiction of a passage

[@capicolaspicy]

Waterproof Speaker - you need a Altec Lansing Lifejacket bluetooth speaker. 10 Hours play time per charge, great quality sound for a smaller speaker. Waterproof, Shockproof and Floats! Just replaced the battery in mine after about 7 years of use. I think the "Jolt" model would fit well - a bit more power but still very easy to carry.

[@Hydrnaught]

Not to contradict, but I've been ordered out to sea with the onset of a cyclone. Different to cruising, this was offshore work. It was a sick it up buttercup. Ride it out the best you can.

[@cassandratq9301]

My understanding is that, in a hurricane, many boats are safer in rough seas than docked.

[@Toffie10]

Good Captains in fair sea conditions, UNLESS, you are a fishing vessel captain!

[@vincelardner330]

Very true, Fishing Captains, Military Captains and Merchant Captains do not have the luxury of being 'fair weather' sailors, fish, operational requirements and delivery schedules do not stick the weather forecasts.

[@ianjackson8643]

Nice to meet you Alejandro

[@johntaggart859]

Excellent video…Sardinia is a great location… So interesting to see how a superyacht runs…

Great episode! Absolutely love it. 😊

[@clivehale397]

Hi Alejandro nice to see.see you....

[@TimFenton-dx4xe]

Excellent thanks 🎉🎉🎉

[@TOM-C.]

Seeing you sail across the wide open seas it dawns on me I could never do this! The reason, I can't be armed to the teeth for defense if the time arises. An attack will likely never occur, but I'd be uncomfortable knowing I have no defense, not even one gun! 👍😎✌🗽

[@crossfiteer]

Great video cap, thank you for the content

[@privatesecurityafrica4129]

I was in the French Foreign Legion and we use to have exercises in Sardenha... that could happen with other forces and countrys

[@jamestorrence9340]

I've heard about the night sky at sea, but I've never seen it. I have seen the night sky in the mountains at about 6,000 feet (1800 meters) and in the desert at about 3,000 feet (900 meters), but it can't be the same as at sea with nothing interrupting the horizon.

[@frankkie3849]

Nicely done,,thanks for sharing,,😊

[@charlieb9090]

Howdy Alejandro from Houston, Tx!

[@MarkSnop]

hello Alejandro! hello Captain! how are you doing? Christian that was a real fun video. I enjoyed it. I’m really glad to see you back on running ships again. I wish I didn’t have anything tie me down. I’d love to come and help. I guess you probably can’t do that these days like the old days cause you have to be current on new certifications and all that stuff. I guess maybe I should’ve kept my Masters ticket current under the US Coast Guard. oh well, I say that every time I watch some of your videos. Looking forward to the next one take care and thank you. Great video.

[@johnburdette6788]

Loving the new ship, I know you have answered this question before, or maybe not. But I was wondering the number of crew and their positions thank you.

[@stephenwalker1943]

Great video, was over too before I knew it! :)

Hello captain, great video as usual 👏🏻👏🏻. For the two warships they were heading to Algeria cost for common exercise with the Algerian navy

Nice video Capt! See you on the next one.

[@LostCannuckSailor]

Those are the the Kashima and Hatakaze (or Shimakaze) they are the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force Training ships. They do an around the world tour every year or two, to train cadets. Likely heading to or from Europe for part of that.

Awesome sea conditions for a crossing like that one, however, as a sailor. would prefer at least 12knts of breeze....

[@paulohara1502]

Brilliant 👍🏼🥰

[@wernerdanler2742]

The Japanese are working with us, the US. I thought they were in the Red Sea protecting merchant vessels from the hootees. I don't remember the correct spelling. 😮 Where to next? Back to Palermo? Did you go ashore and do any filming? Hello to Alejandro. Ciao.😊😊

[@stevenzobel4517]

At least when you were passing through between those two worships you did not get a shot across the bow I remember a story you said way back when you are taking a yacht somewhere and some military vessels put a shot across your bow well always interesting Tristan talk to you later

[@Steve-Cross]

Hello Captain. Japanese warships, we’re a long way from home. I would think they were on manoeuvres with NATO. Do you have a transponder on board? I would imagine they would have registered your yacht, a long time before you saw them. I am a recent subscriber and absolutely fascinated with every aspect of your incredible job. thank you for sharing, Captain.

[@orionspero560]

Does your objection to operating in rougher conditions include passengers who are trying to build up their skills for out of season transatlantic passages?

@orionspero560 This is not an ocean going yacht, it is a trawler. Obviously you can cross oceans with it, but hardly anyone with these things does that. They drop them onto carriers and pick them up on the other side.

If those engine panels can't be dimmed, I would just buy some really dark tinted plastic/sheet to put over them. That way you can still see them without being blinded.

Shouldn't those two engine monitors brightness be controlled by the Simrad's brightness on the NMEA 2000 backbone? Perhaps you might try to discover them on the Simrad Setup discover devices.

[@hubschenk1652]

The crew of the warship probably thought you were a warship too? 😅

[@captainmurk3745]

I can think of 3 plausible explanations for the Japanese ships: - on exercise - for the Paris Olympics (but it all depends on when you shot your video). There are nautical events, but I doubt that France needed boats so far from their home ports. I don't think there's a Japanese base in the Mediterranean. - Fin whale fishing is their new attraction and is often criticized by Sea Shepherd. So to protect their factory ships.

[@robertfrost1683]

Do you ever take photos of the checklists for recordkeeping ? Might be helpful.

[@tommalone8026]

Hi Tristan I understand that you are a captain with a high responsibilities. You are allowed some down time but how could you not dip into that beautiful crystal clear blue water!

I did the next day 😉

[@davedavids9619]

Looks like you are thoroughly enjoying yourself. It is good to see you enthusiastic again, but this time without all the pressures of a commercial boat. Have not seen you lying in the sun in a dinghy when you were on AWOL. Now that you have embarked on your Endless Summer, perhaps there is an opportunity to get a sun tan 😀I know you are British, which means a sun tan is not for you guys, but given enough time..........perhaps you will be able to succeed in getting one.
