He was referring to the IJN Yamato model on my coffee table.
“I’m wanting to build out the Imperial Japanese Navy fleet.”
“I’m also fascinated by the Nagato.”
Here’s a look at a completed model of the IJN Nagato. It was the only Japanese battleship to survive WWII. The US confiscated it as the spoils of war and used her at the atomic testing grounds on Bikini Atoll. She sank after the second of two atomic bomb tests.
Nagato is also the name of my favorite character from The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzimiya. I like to consider her the mascot for my MacBookPro.
