Larry JohnsonGUEST
I think it was at Valdai, Vladivostok.
Larry JohnsonGUEST
but he gave basically the Russian Navy on the Sea of Japan and such.
Larry JohnsonGUEST
You got carte blanche.
Larry JohnsonGUEST
You get any interference, you take out those ships.
Jack AshmoreGUEST
We're back on a second one.
Jack AshmoreGUEST
In the middle of that tour, out in the Sea of Japan on this little Jeep carrier, I looked at my ID card, and I said, "My goodness, my four years is up." So being the bright young man that I am, [laughs] I went to my boss, the CO, and said, "Sir, I'm supposed to be home.
Jack AshmoreGUEST
My four years are up." And he said, "Mr.
Jack AshmoreGUEST
Ashmore, did you, you look at your commission real well?" I said, "Well, I thought I did." He said, "You serve at the convenience of the President of the United States, and it's not convenient right now for you to get out." So he hands my ID card to the yeoman.

KCNA did not disclose how many missiles were launched, the locations of the launch, or the performance details of the missiles, but the South Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff Office provided estimates.
speaker_1HOST
According to that office, the North Korea fired two missiles from the Wonsan area toward the Sea of Japan last Sunday, a week ago.
speaker_1HOST
The first missile was launched at 3 p.m. local time.
speaker_1HOST
The second missile was launched 5.50 p.m. local time.
Tom GibbGUEST
all the way up to Tokyo and then further up north beyond that.
Tom GibbGUEST
Whereas the West Coast or the Sea of Japan coast is quite sleepy, really.
Tom GibbGUEST
Not as many tourists, not as much industry, not as many people.
Tom GibbGUEST
And if I'd had more time, It would have been nice to continue on along that coast.
SebHOST
yes yeah
SidneyHOST
and then we can probably move swiftly on to north korea launching a ballistic missile so you know uh a bit 360 there yeah so apparently north korea launched two suspected short-range ballistic missiles towards the sea of japan um according to south korea The first missile traveled approximately 279 miles, and the second launched about three hours later, flew 373 miles.
SidneyHOST
And Japan's Ministry of Defense confirmed the expected launches, confirmed them, but stated the ejectiles did not land within Japan's territorial waters, which is good for world peace.
SidneyHOST
um yes good not for fish
Jennifer LaversGUEST
Well, that didn't work for us because we needed thousands.
Jennifer LaversGUEST
And so we went to this kind of old school technology and we were putting individually marked metal leg bands on young birds right at the point of departure when they were about to leave Lord Howe Island for the first time and fly all the way to the Sea of Japan.
Jennifer LaversGUEST
But in addition to that, we did two really important things.
Jennifer LaversGUEST
We weighed them.
Theo WrenfieldNARRATOR
This blending of old and new became a hallmark of Mongol warfare, a willingness to combine whatever tools proved useful, regardless of their origin.
Theo WrenfieldNARRATOR
As the Mongol Empire grew to become the largest contiguous land empire in history, stretching from the Sea of Japan to the edges of Eastern Europe, it created something remarkable.
Theo WrenfieldNARRATOR
a vast network of connected territories under relatively unified rule.
Theo WrenfieldNARRATOR
This unification, though achieved through conquest, had an unintended consequence.
Jack ReidGUEST
It's the conditions of surrender.
Jack ReidGUEST
If you wanted to, you could go on YouTube, type in that word Apik Duomai, and you will find black and white video footage of the close of World War II when an Apik Duomai surrender ceremony was conducted on a battleship in the Sea of Japan.
Jack ReidGUEST
They lined up multiple Japanese generals who stood there at attention with all of their stars and medals on their chest, their stripes on their lapel, and the Allied commanders went up to the first Japanese general and ripped with his hand the medals off of his chest.
Jack ReidGUEST
Then reached up to the stars that were on his lapel and violently ripped those off of his jacket.
DevinHOST
And to the north, it extends, you know, 60, almost 70 kilometers.
DevinHOST
And it gets very close to the Sea of Japan.
DevinHOST
So instead of hauling things over land, you can take them from the Sea of Japan, bring them a short distance, and then put them in Lake Biwa and ship them down, basically straight into Kyoto.
DevinHOST
So once you have Kyoto as a city in that location, it becomes...
DevinHOST
Very useful to have nearby.
MattHOST
It almost bisects Japan.
MattHOST
I mean, at that point, Japan's extremely narrow at that point, but practically bisects Japan, doesn't it, the lake? If it only extended a little bit further south and a little bit further north, it would just cut Japan in half, and then Japan would be...
MattHOST
Kanto would actually be two two separate islands Honshu sorry would rather be would just be two separate islands rather than this one island so it I mean that is just it's just begging to be used as as a like a highway an ancient highway of the water like I mean before the engine basically like water was by far the most efficient way of transporting anything so to have this huge lake that you can get from the northern shore the sea of japan side down into the pacific side specifically the inland sea part i mean that is it's going to have been really really useful for them
BrewHOST
And the increase in ghost ship sightings came in 2017 after a series of sanctions was issued to Hermit Kingdom, including restrictions on coal and oil trade from China, which leads to the conclusion that these ghost ships are the result of desperate fishermen taking risks that their ships just aren't equipped to handle, ending in tragedy for many and leaving the boats to wash ashore.
BrewHOST
But that's the Sea of Japan, a sea contained by Japan and the Korean Peninsula.
BrewHOST
The MV Alta's route from Haiti to Ireland is more open and a much larger distance, around 5,005 km compared to 1,043 km, a lot bigger.
BrewHOST
Besides, the MV Alta is a significantly larger and sturdier boat than the fishing ships washing up in Japan.
