Interesting and ironic. The Japanese practically worship a legendary battleship they lost decades ago. There's even a group looking to raise the
Yamato's sunken sister ship, the
Musashi.
Here in the US the governing body of San Francisco rejects a plan to put the decommissioned battleship USS
Iowa on display near Fishermans Wharf. Banishing it to rust in Stockton, since it's a symbol of war.
I guess you don't appreciate something until it's gone.
