Every August, for three years in a row I come to Yokosku at the naval celebration, organized by the Maritime Self-Defense Forces of Japan. The holiday can see and visit the various ships, trying on a form available from the ground equipment, air defense systems, engineering equipment, or simply eat yaki-soba, takoyaki, etc. Japanese food is being prepared in the traditional celebrations. Normally, the program because there were a well-riding on warships in the bay and missile launches, but because of the earthquake, this part of the program was canceled. This time I caught visited four vessels in this material the story of the first three.
The Japanese made simple - three ships moored to one another. People climb on board first, examine the nose and moving walkways for the next ship, visiting his nose and on the third. Then, on the third ship going to the stern, and other mostochkam return to the first ship through the second. The three ships were standing next destroyers DD-107 "Ikazuchi», ASE-6102 "Asuka" and DD-129 "Yamayuki." Here's how they look from the side and from above.
