After Emperor Showa's enthronement, the first launch ceremony he attended was Myoukou's, dess!!

After his enthronement, which warship became the first imperial flagship!?

The pride of Japan, Nagato-san!!

The imperial flagship's gotta be Hieee-san!

It has to be the imperial flagship at the 1927 Grand Fleet maneuvers, Mutsu-san! October 25-30

The imperial flagship chosen to sail from Yokosuka at the end of July 1927 to Ogasawara, Saiki Bay, and Amami Ooshima was

When this question was asked on twitter, we got a lot of replies, but my name didn't show up even once until a hint was given... such misfortune...

With that said, let's learn a bit about that time period, dess.

Well, state business, granting imperial audiences.

He also declared that he intended to see the enlistees' work for himself, so he put on a crew uniform and inspected places like the engine room.

The engine room? While cruising?

Sounds bad

It was 48℃ at the time. It could hit 56℃ at worst.

We were on our way to Ogasawara at the time, so an electric fan and ice were prepared, but he refused the fan and had the ice distributed amongst the crew. I suppose His Majesty wasn't particularly bothered by heat

When we arrived at Saiki Bay...

Emperor Showa boarded Akagi-san almost right after she was completed.

The day after, he stayed to watch her departure and arrival training with Houshou-san. How bold~

While cruising, we had activities like deck golf

and swimming in a pool

Water tank on the deck

Next was... ah.

Next was collecting live specimens for his research. Emperor Showa was a marine biologist

"Collecting live specimens"?

Specimens scooped up from the surface of the Kuroshio waters.

Coral, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, shellfish, and slime molds from Chichijima, and shellfish and such from Hahajima too. Islands in the Ogasawara archipelago

Aquatic flora and fauna, Chinese banyan, Lidith's jays, and black rabbits from Amami Ooshima, as well as shellfish he gathered during a shower.

Even during the trying times of war he found comfort collecting seafood. His Majesty sure had an interest in living organisms.

On top of that, he observed Kako firing at day and Nagato and Mutsu firing at night.

Well then, since you weren't the flagship at the Grand Fleet maneuvers, just what did His Majesty do while you served as imperial flagship?
