This is my 13th trip to Japan, I am with collectors Dean Brock and John Egger and the famous TV star Bob Chatt. Dean, John and myself took a trip out of Tokyo on Wednesday to Kamikura so view some Temples and the Great Budda.

about the Battleship Mikasa ???
DG:Originally posted by Daniel Griffin View Post
Nice to see the Mikasa Battleship photos. Looked the
ship up online and noted that Mikasa "is the last remaining
example of a pre-dreadnought battleship anywhere in the
world." And that "following Japan's defeat, the American oc-
cupation forces confiscated Mikasa and dismantled her guns."
With "missing parts and fittings [post war] provided from the
[also] English-built Chilean Navy super-dreadnought battleship
Almirante Latorre, which was being scrapped in Japan..." See
more online about the ship at ...
