| Maritime Self-Defense Force History Museum in Kure |
The Kure Naval Base
was established in 1889 and the Kure Naval Shipyard was established in 1903. In prewar days, Kure city has prospered as a town in a naval port where battleship "The
Yamato"was built, and a town in the naval shipyard. In postwar days, Kure
city is prospering as a town of heavy industry and culture area. "The Yamato" was the largest battleship in the world. It was built using the
forefront of science and technology of those days in the Kure Naval Shipyard in December, 1941.
However, "The Yamato" was
attacked by many enemy carrier-based aircrafts on the way to Okinawa in April 7th, 1945, and finally it
sank.
Unfortunately, a lot of crew were
killed.
Various "Science and
Technology" and "History of Kure"
are introduced in the Kure maritime affairs history science pavilion (The nickname: Yamato
museum) which is located in Takara-Machi Kure
City Hiroshima Prefecture, bordering Hiroshima
city. One tenth scale model, battleship Yamato has been
exhibited in the pavilion as a symbol of the Yamato museum. And a real torpedo
"Kaiten" controlled by young
soldiers and a real fighter "Zero Sen" has been exhibited there. We can learn "History of Kure" and "Importance of peace" from various exhibits. Moreover,
the Yamato pier jutting out a long way to
Kure Bay is located in the south
of
the pavilion.
There is a huge place that imitates the full-scaled deck of battleship
Yamato. We can see the
Kure Port there. The view from
the Yamato pier is very
wonderful!! Especially night view is very fantastic!! |
