    In my (very limited) experience, the get-togethers of US and Japanese WWII vets at Pearl Harbor are grim, tediously polite affairs.

    The ones in Vietnam are morr jovial, and taken less seriously.

    The aircraft carrier Kaga that participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor was sunk 6 months later in the Battle of Midway.

    JS Kaga was launched in 2015.

    The Japanese navy has been there a few times. They’re super nice.
