The Hiroshima bomb didn't get dropped until August 1945.

I don't suppose this counts.

Okay...I'll fire up SH4 and go look. Fuji is generally southwest of Tokyo near Atami and Shizuoka.

Fuij is a monster mountain-3777m-and if it can be seen i game, anywhere off the coast of Tokyo Bay to Shizuoka should be good.

I can see it from Chiba on the far side of Tokyo Bay everyday, at a distance of 250+ kilometers.

I just fired up one of those single patrol scenarios that starts off the coast of Honshu. I checked the area out. No sign of the mountain although I did get blasted by a shore battery for my pains.

I tried using the external camera to search inland but found the ground just drops straight down to the sea like a facade when you go too far. That's probably why it's not there. My guess is that the game only models topography so far inland and then quits.

Must be an impressive sight in real life from Chiba. I see Mount Rainier everyday on my commute although it's not as pretty and symmetrical as Fuji.

Stunning, especially for an Australian, the flatest continent on earth. It's got that funny cold white stuff on it too. I think Mt Ranier is nicknamed Fuji, right?

Actually the mountain around here that most resembled Fuji in terms of it's shape and symmetry was Mt. St. Helens. But that certainly changed for the foreseeable future in 1980 when it committed volcano seppuku.

Mt. Rainier is a bit lumpier, but a bit higher than Fuji. (4392 meters)
