What is Navy Harbor Cruise?
Speaking of Yokosuka, There are Navy facilities for the US Navy 7th Fleet and a base of the Maritime Self-Defense Force of Japan. It is the town of military harbor.
A cruise to a naval port is literally a pleasure boat ride to see the naval port and ships from the sea. This ship will cruise inside the port. The depot is at the eastern end of Verny Park.
45 minutes per lap, the price is 1,600 yen per person. There are 6 daily flights every hour between 10:00 and 15:00.
The ship has two floors and this is the first floor. If you are not good at cold, this is better.
However, most people choose the open second floor, where it is easy to take pictures. This day was February 25th, and it was still a cold weekday, and it was not crowded with passengers. It was less than 15 people. The capacity is maximum 150 people.
Close to US Military Ships
We left the pier.
Immediately after leaving the port, three US submarines were moored.
This is an Aegis warship. It is a ship with high-performance radar and missiles that has overwhelming anti-aircraft capability, and the price is over 100 billion yen per ship. There are only about 100 ships in the world. Over 80 of them belong to the US Army, and Japan owns 6 of them.
JMSDF Izumo
At a glance, this ship, which looks like an aircraft carrier, is the IJMO destroyer of the JMSDF. It seems that 15 helicopters can be loaded on the ship. The gross tonnage is 19,500 tons, which is quite large. When I came, I saw this ship in front of the JR Yokosuka station from the train.
This is the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Aegis ship "Kirishima". This is also 100 billion yen ...
1 Trillion Yen Landscape and Aircraft Carrier Ronald Reagan
This is the scenery on the US military base side. Ships lined up in a row. According to the guide, the scenery was 1 trillion yen. The guide told me to swim toward the Japanese side when I fell into the sea. I thought it was a kind of joke. But it's really America even in Japan.
The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan is a ship that standed out on the US military base side. It's 100,000 tons and is 333m long, the same as Tokyo Tower. It is said that 6,000 crew members board this ship. It is said that there is a Starbucks as well as a hospital and a barber shop inside the ship, so it looked like a town. It's price is ¥ 350-500 billion ...
But if you were Mr. Son or Mr. Yanai, could you buy it individually?
JMSDF Facilities and Ships
This is the JMSDF destroyer "Takanami". It looks plain when you look at the aircraft carrier.
In Japan, destroyers are called as "escort ship". Because Japan has already abandoned involving any kinds of war accordance with the constitution.
The JMSDF buildings lined up around here.
On the cruise, the guide will guide you with the microphone eloquently. 10 guides give guidance in shift, and each of them will give a unique explanation, so guests can enjoy it even if they repeat.
The cruise was almost at the end. It would be cool to have three ships lined up.
The Maritime Self-Defense Force's “Kirishima” (left) and “Ikazuki” (right), which I mentioned earlier.
* Navy Port Cruise will be temporarily suspended from March 2 to 15 for the time being to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection.
Walk In Yokosuka from Mikasa Park to Yokosuka Chuo Station
On the way back, we stopped at Mikasa Park, which preserved the battleship Mikasa.
We walked in the city of Yokosuka. It's a town with a unique atmosphere.
From Yokosuka Chuo Station, we took the Keikyu to Yokohama.
Keikyu Express Electric Railway, it was the first in my life. From Kanazawa Bunko, We took a rapid express train. It was more blast than I expected.
