1946 Japanese Midget-Subs & Other Navy Ships @ Kure, Japan (WWII)
After WWII - Footage shows rusting Japanese Imperial Navy Midget-Submarines in bombed out dry docks & the scrapping of other Navy ships @ Hikari Naval Base - Filmed in March & April of 1946
JMSDF (Japanese Navy) Museum, Kure, April 8, 2012
Just 25 minutes by local train from Hiroshima is the city of Kure. It is an industrial city with several ship yards. It has been so for many years, and many of the battleships that participated in WWII were build here.
The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) have today a new and modern museum in Kure with a very large submarine in front of the museum. The museum is especially dedicated to mine sweeping and submarines.
After WWII Japan's coastal waters were saturated with mines dropped by US planes. So the first task of the postwar Japanese navy was to clear those mines. As a result today the JMSDF are among the best in the world of clearing mines.
The JMSDF Museum, Kure, is located 3 minutes' walk from the Yamato Museum, that is also worth a visit. Both museums are very close to the train station and ridiculously easy to find from the station.
You should check out the website of the museum (in English with some information...):
Yamato Museum, Kure, Japan, April 8, 2012
Just 25 minutes by local train from Hiroshima is the city of Kure. It is an industrial city with several ship yards. It has been so for many years, and many of the battleships that participated in WWII were build here.
To commemorate this great legacy within ship building the city has build an almost new museum (2005) that covers both the pre-war and WWII period but also modern day ship industry.
By far the best thing to see at the museum is the incredible, beautifully made 1:10 (!) scale model of the Battleship Yamato. Some other things from WWII can also be seen at the museum, such as a Zero fighter and a Long Lance type 95 torpedo.
The video contains still pictures and HD video from the museum. As I had only 1 hour for the museum (way too little time), I only managed to cover the WWII stuff.

Note that just 3 minutes' walk from the museum is the museum for the JMSDF (Japanese Navy).
Japan Trip: Spring 2017 | Vlog #10 | Yamato Museum (Kure Maritime Museum) & Kanazawa
Welcome to the tenth episode of my Japan Trip 2017 vlog series.
This episode Itchy and Rodier head over to the Yamato Museum a.k.a Kure Maritime Museum in Kure City (Hiroshima Prefecture) to look at the WWII Battleship Yamato. Later that afternoon, they move on to their next hotel in Kanazawa. During the following 2 days, they explore the city and visit places such as Kanazawa castle and the Nagamachi Samurai district.
Rodier's a Pokemon GO master this episode...
We were in Japan from 30th March 2017 - 4th May 2017. Expect plenty of videos! If you ever wish to visit Japan, I highly recommend getting a Japan Rail Pass. With this Rodier and I were able to travel via JR Trains & Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to a great amount of places throughout Japan as many times as we wanted with no extra cost.

Kamiseya Naval Security Base / Kamiseya Japan / Company E Kamiseya
A walk down memory lane at Kamiseya Japan. Tom & I were stationed here in 1963 to 1965. We were members of the USMC attached to Marine Barracks Company E. The last time I was on the base was when I left with my seabag over my shoulder the 1st of June 1965.
If you were stationed here in the 60's, you can see that the base is not at all the way we remembered it, with many buildings gone completely and those that are there are in bad shape. It's my understanding that a security guard US / Japanese tours the base a couple of times a day but other than that it sits vacant.
You'll be disappointed if your expectation is to see the spit & polish that existed when we were stationed there but if you use the photos as a memory peg to bring back a long forgotten thought / person / event that occurred so many years ago, I think you'll find them interesting and hopefully uplifting - it's in that Spirit in which I post them here.
You can view additional photos here or look at a google map that I created here

Tamiya Shinano Review!!
Shinano (信濃), was an aircraft carrier built by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II, the largest such built up to that time. Laid down in May 1940 as the third of the Yamato-class battleships, Shinano's partially complete hull was ordered to be converted to a carrier following Japan's disastrous loss of four fleet carriers at the Battle of Midway in mid-1942. Her conversion was still not finished in November 1944 when she was ordered to sail from the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal to Kure Naval Base to complete fitting out and transfer a load of 50 Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka rocket-propelled kamikaze flying bombs. Hastily dispatched, she had an inexperienced crew and serious design and construction flaws, lacked adequate pumps and fire-control systems, and did not even carry a single carrier aircraft. She was sunk en route, 10 days after commissioning, on 29 November 1944, by six torpedoes from the U.S. Navy submarine Archerfish. Over a thousand sailors and civilians were rescued and 1,435 were lost, including her captain. She remains the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine.[1]One of two additional Yamato-class battleships ordered as part of the 4th Naval Armaments Supplement Program of 1939,[2] Shinano was named after the old province of Shinano, following the Japanese ship-naming conventions for battleships.[3] She was laid down on 4 May 1940 at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal to a modified Yamato-class design: her armor would be 10–20 millimeters (0.39–0.79 in) thinner than that of the earlier ships, as it had proved to be thicker than it needed to be for the desired level of protection, and her heavy anti-aircraft (AA) guns would be the new 65-caliber 10 cm Type 98 dual-purpose gun, as it had superior ballistic characteristics and a higher rate of fire than the 40-caliber 12.7 cm Type 89 guns used by her half-sisters.[4]The ship's organic air group was intended to consist of 18 Mitsubishi A7M Reppū (Allied reporting name Sam) fighters (plus two in storage), 18 Aichi B7A Ryusei (Grace) torpedo-dive bombers (plus two in storage), and 6 Nakajima C6N Saiun (Myrt) reconnaissance aircraft (plus one in storage).[7] The remainder of the hangar space would have held up to 120 replacement aircraft for other carriers and land bases.[8]
DDH-182 ISE - JMSDF Kure District Headquarters
The city was founded on October 1, 1902. Up until the end of World War II, it served as a military and naval center. Headquarters of Independent Field Records was situated there in 1956.
Kure was the home base of the largest battleship ever built, the Yamato. There is still the one of the bases of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) located there, its former center became the JMSDF Regional Kure District. While there is a hospital as a building of the Marine Self Defense Force, there are Escort Flotilla (Destroyers), Submarine Flotilla and the Training Squadron in the Kure District. A museum with a 1:10 scale model of the ship is located in the city.
F-Toys JMSDF Kure Naval Base - 1/1250 Scale Umigiri
Hey everyone! Today I unbox and review a model ship from F-Toys. It is a 1/1250 scale model of the Umigiri, which is part of the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force. Although this model is small, it was much easier to build than the last F-Toys model ship, the Kirisame.
You can check out that F-Toys video on the Kirisame ship here:

IJN Battleship HARUNA wreck at Kure
IJN Battleship HARUNA wreck at Kure after World War II.
24 July 1945:
Aircraft from Vice Admiral (later Admiral) John S. Slew McCain's (former CO of RANGER, CV-4)Task Force 38 attack Kure. HARUNA is hit by one bomb portside aft which causes light damage. In their last major action, 343rd NAG George fighters attack the retiring American carrier planes over the Bungo Suido and claim 19 aircraft shot down against four losses.
28 July 1945:
At Kure. From 0800 to 1700, HARUNA is attacked again by the USS WASP's (CV-18) Air Group 86, SHANGRI-LA (CV-38) and other aircraft from Task Force 38. She receives many hits and near misses. At 1300, she is attacked but not hit by over 70 USAAF B-24's of the 7th AF's 11th Bomb Group and other groups based at Yontan Air Base, Okinawa.
At 1615, HARUNA comes under a final heavy attack, and is holed portside. This causes a list that brings the gash inflicted on 24 July under water. HARUNA takes on tons of water and sinks in shallow water next to a pier at 34-15N, 132-29E. In the two days of attacks, HARUNA receives nine bomb hits and 65 officers and men are lost.

Sinking Aircraft Carrier
Sinking Aircraft Carrier. An Aircraft Carrier is a warship designed with a primary mission of deploying and recovering aircraft, acting as a seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations. They have evolved from wooden vessels, used to deploy balloons, into nuclear powered warships that carry dozens of fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
Shortland & Ballalae Aircraft Salvage
ONE NEWS
First Aired: November 20, 2007
HOST Tina Lemazi: Solomon Islands is known overseas for the role it played in the second world war. It was here in Solomon Islands that the Americans turned back the Japanese advance in the Pacific. The Solomons Islands played a pivotal role in the war and its remnants have dotted the landscape throughout the country.
But a move to sell war relics from Shortlands overseas has raised concerns. Two weeks ago, with the approval of government, the chiefs of FAMOA were paid 50,000 SI$ and signed off on a deal with an overseas buyer to sell their relics overseas. Owen Talo with more:
Owen Talo, Nila Village (in tok pidgin): One News Camera, is now at Nila village, Shortlands Islands for a special happening. The Minister of Tourism and a delegation of two officers and the minister of tourism all have come to Nila village Shortlands, for signing a very important something in terms of removing all the war wreckage of shortland, especially at Nila, is the story I received. FAMOA, stands for Farou, Mono and Alu [Islands in Shortlands]. All form one council of chiefs, where everyone has signed for taking out war relics. Many of those remains from the war are from Shortlands Harbor and also here in one hanger of Japan where airplanes remain this time. The time we arrived, a big signing ceremony happened where everyone agreed to remove every relic from the Shortlands. This is a setback for tourism of this country. Also, TINA, a ship RAMSI [Regional Assistance Mission, Solomon Islands] has used for doing work has also come Shortlands and they will remove every war relic from Nila and also Ballalae.
NARRATOR Owen Talo (in tok pidgin): Alison Laore tells his thoughts about the removal or all war relics from Nila and Ballalae in Shortlands
Alison Laore [Chief Agana's Brother]: Today, we met with one man from England, who comes to buy all the planes. One man Craig Turner, who says he is coordinating this sale. Plus the minister of Tourism who arrived and Sir George [Lepping] and Albert [Laore] who came all the way from Honiara. With them [Lawrence] Kiko from [Solomon Islands National] Museum. All them come for meeting with chiefs and people of Shortlands about war relics, for removing all of them. People here in previous meetings have concern to stop them, but it is hard because since the minister has come, he himself tells us 'this project is supported by government and Prime Minister [Sogavare] signed one letter that they brought, saying that the government supported this move for sending out all war relics. One MOU [Memoranda Of Understanding] signed today - every plane from Shortland is to be removed. They said they will reserve them all. Once you take them all, I don't know what will be left for tourism. What will tourists come to look at? What history will tell them there was a war here? There will come here to look but not see anything. So, that is one concern of the people here. Maybe the future for our children will not know anything. They will not know there was a war here, because they can't see anything at the site where the war happened.
Owen Talo (in Tok Pidgin): Chief from Samanago Village on Farou Island, Ninamo Otuana accuses government for selling 11 war wrecks here.
Ninamo Otuana: They told us no tourists will ever come here because of the liability of government if anyone gets into grief. If anyone explodes themselves or walks on a live bomb. That's a minor problem, compared to what they told us. People for the Shortlands have been walking and building gardens and houses on that island [Ballalae] for almost fifty years. No one has come to grief. We believe there are a lot of people behind this deal. People we don't know about. People we have never seen, people we will never meet. There is a lot of money changing hands. We as chiefs don't even know when we are going to get our bit, that they have promised out of 220,000 US$ to move eleven planes. They are priceless and worthless. Priceless in the form of history, and importance of tourism coming in to see [them]. And worthless, they are just metal. But the pricelessness to us is it is our treasure as well. No money will make us feel good about moving anything. No amount of money.
NARRATOR (Owen Talo in tok pidgin): Otuana questions government's bottom-up approach and policy. Instead of helping people, government is selling resources that belong to the people for a cheap price.
Ninamo Otuana: It is a big issue. I think Solomon Islands has had enough of giving away land for an ax handle. Now we want the handle, head and the stone to sharpen the ax. We have stepped up a little bit. I won't delve too much into the politics of the government of today. Thinking about it, maybe we can make some changes. The only way to make change is to step into the ring and fight for it.
NARRATOR: Owen Talo for ONE NEWS.
Tamiya 1/350 IJN Battleship Yamato (大和)
named after the ancient Japanese Yamato Province, was a battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet, she was lead ship of the Yamato class. She and her sister ship, Musashi, were the largest and heaviest battleships ever constructed, displacing 72,800 tonnes at full load, and armed with nine 46 cm (18.1 inch) main guns.
Constructed from 1937 1940 and formally commissioned in late 1941, Yamato served as the flagship of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto throughout 1942, first sailing as part of the Combined Fleet during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Throughout 1943, Yamato continually transferred between Truk, Kure and Brunei in response to American airstrikes on Japanese island bases. The only time Yamato fired her main guns at enemy surface targets was in October 1944, but was ordered to turn back after attacks by destroyers and aircraft of the Taffy light escort carrier task groups managed to sink three heavy cruisers during the Battle off Samar. Yamato was sunk in April 1945 during Operation Ten-Go.
