What is IJN? Snow hoe.
AaronAUDIENCE
Smash, smash, ahhh.
Jim RomeHOST
Well, that's, that, that was just too complex a beef.

The first Japanese aircraft carrier sunk during World War II.
speaker_18AUDIENCE
What is IJN? No ho.
speaker_9AUDIENCE
Smash, smash.
Jim RomeHOST
That was just too calm.
NevsHOST
Either way, it's lovely to see the French Navy getting some attention in 1 to 700 scale again, particularly as it's been quite a few years since the Pitch Road and Trumpeter releases of this subject.
NevsHOST
Next, we're heading across to Japan, where Fujimi are preparing to re-release their 1 to 700 scale kit of the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Taiho.
NevsHOST
This time as a rather tasty special edition.
NevsHOST
Taiho was an armored flight deck aircraft carrier commissioned in 1944.
NevsHOST
Yes, you heard that correctly.
NevsHOST
We're stepping away from the usual 1 to 700 scale warships and going considerably larger for this one.
NevsHOST
The Type 89 was a dual-purpose naval gun used extensively by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War, and the twin mounting became a familiar feature aboard many Japanese warships.
NevsHOST
Among those carrying the Type 89 as secondary armament were the mighty battleships Yamato and Mus- And now Pit Road are giving us the opportunity to build one of these impressive twin five-inch mountings as a standalone model.

Either way, it's lovely to see the French Navy getting some attention in 1-700 scale again, particularly as it's been quite a few years since the pitch road and trumpeter releases of this subject.

Next we're heading across to Japan, where Fujimi are preparing to re-release their 1-700 scale kit of the Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carrier Taiho, this time as a rather tasty special edition.
NevsHOST
Taiho was an armoured flight deck aircraft carrier commissioned in 1944, and Fujimi's latest offering gives modelers the opportunity to build her as a full hull model, with a number of additional detailing options included in the box.
NevsHOST
And when I say additional detailing, we're not just talking about a few extra bits of plastic.
NevsHOST
Yes, you heard that correctly.

John BatchelorHOST
We talked about it again today in terms of reviving the British Empire, or at least the imperial posture needed in the Middle East where the British Empire was once powerful, needed around the world, representing the success of the British system to transform itself into a parliament, and for that parliament to transform itself into the United States of America.
John BatchelorHOST
What I lamented with, to Gregory was, in 1945, the British Empire was all-powerful around the world, exhausted from the battle with the Hitlerites and the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army, but significant and represented freedom to the people of the, beleaguered people of the Middle East and of Asia.
John BatchelorHOST
Then the retreat into a welfare state that no one defends happily, that is often faulted for misunderstandings about how to conduct healthcare and hospitalization and housing, and that's exhausted their ability to field a military that has substance.
John BatchelorHOST
It represents parliament and transparency and dignity.
Rana MitterPANELIST
and also increases its naval and army capacities.
Rana MitterPANELIST
There are attempts at the Washington Naval Conference in 1921, the London Naval Conference in 1930, to try and limit the size of the Japanese Navy compared to the American and the British Navy.
Rana MitterPANELIST
The British Navy, of course, the one to beat at this particular point.
Rana MitterPANELIST
But nonetheless, Japan... as a country that has a huge foothold in Asia, Asia's most industrialized state, and with a strong imperial ideological drive.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Yeah, armed with 16-inch guns.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Just walking around, it was complex in peacetime, but when the Japanese attack started, it was sudden, and it was completely devastating.
speaker_3NARRATOR
They were executing these perfectly coordinated torpedo runs, and Miller is literally below deck, deep in the bottom of the ship, collecting laundry.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Just doing his assigned job.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Right.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The surface of the ocean is burning.
speaker_3NARRATOR
And Japanese Zeros are flying over, just strafing the decks with machine gun fire.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Total chaos.
Bob BavasiGUEST
And Mayumi was a Japanese professor very recently at Everett Community College, where this college I'm talking about.
Bob BavasiGUEST
And so her father was an officer in the Japanese Navy during World War II.
Bob BavasiGUEST
He was on the battleship Fuso, which was sunk in the last battle of battleships ever.
Bob BavasiGUEST
And he was one of the few who survived this sinking.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
Commander Zynga points this out so perfectly.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
He says the Navy restricted what Miller was permitted to become, but the Imperial Japanese Navy did not restrict what Miller was capable of doing.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
That's the core of it right there.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
In 15 minutes, a black kid from Waco, Texas, completely dismantled the entire justification for a segregated military.

John BatchelorHOST
for distinguished devotion to duty, extraordinary courage, and disregard for his own personal safety during the attack on the Fleet, capital F, in Pearl Harbor, territory of Hawaii, by Japanese forces, December 7th, 1941.
John BatchelorHOST
Navy Cross.
John BatchelorHOST
While at the side of his captain, Mervyn Bennion, on the bridge, Miller, despite enemy strafing and bombing and in the face of a serious fire, assisted in moving his captain, who had been mortally wounded, to a place of greater safety.
John BatchelorHOST
and later manned and operated a machine gun, .50 caliber, an enemy Japanese attacking aircraft until ordered to leave the bridge.
John BatchelorHOST
Later on, Seaman Miller was awarded two Japanese shoot-downs, maybe more, but there was crossfire going on from the bridge of the West Virginia, December 7th.
John BatchelorHOST
I welcome Tom Mowdley because he's introduced to me into a story that begins with Tom's decision as acting Secretary of the Navy to name a Gerald Ford-class supercarrier, believed to be laid down in 26 and at sea trials 29, for Doris Miller.
John BatchelorHOST
That was his name, by the way, Doris, the midwife who delivered him, thought he was going to be a girl.
