I-19-chan, who just arrived the day before yesterday, is taking a pose before the giant screw in front of Japan Rail's Kure station. (Drawn in 40 minutes.) Here's the screw in IRL.

Its golden brilliance is eye-catching even from far away, making it a convenient rendezvous spot. (Though there aren't actually a lot of people in front of the station.)

The famous Kure specialty, Yamato Ramune, is made from the same recipe as used on the Battleship Yamato.

Along the blue tide of history - Kure

Kure came to national attention for being the shooting location of Yamato and Umizaru. This monument was installed in '06 as a memorial.

19-chan sure has a lot of risky lines... My fleet is sortieing with haste to Solomon Islands to welcome her.
