If anyone ever finds themselves in Athens, I would recommend visiting Greek cruiser Georgios Averof and Velos which is anchored nearby.--Catlemur (talk) 18:37, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Well that's a letdown:I figured the Japanese for maintaining Mikasa like she was worth something as opposed to mainting her in half-assed capacity. TomStar81 (Talk) 04:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- There's a photo of Mikasa in the 1950s inside the interior of the which shows the dramatic extent to which she was stripped after the war (in compliance with the terms of the treaties which ended the war, which required the disarmament of all Japanese naval vessels) - she was little more than a metal shed. The shame is that the restoration in the 1950s was so partial, and hasn't been rectified since. The Mikasa Preservation Society should also be more modest in how they promote the ship IMO.
