The Japanese battleship "Nagato" [16" guns] was one of the major prizes found at the Yokosuka Naval Base when the Navy and Marines took over on August 30, 1945. She had been damaged in the great battle off the Philippines last October and had also received bomb hits since. The Naps were rebuilding her but were making very slow progress. As is the Japanese way, she seems to be a combination of fantasy and workable efficiency. Although we may readily say that her features are "certainly not the way we would do it", we cannot afford to indict as impotent so great a potential as the "NAGATO". Her guts and nerves are torn loose from her skeleton although her heart still beats darkly. She her lies dormant to a mooring, facing the west wind from Mt. Fuji some 60-70 miles away. Her immediate guard is the USS "SOUTH DAKOTA",
flagship of Adm. Halsey's Third Fleet.
