May 25, 20206 yr #1 This is a video I did with the nephew of the officier who brought these back to the US from occupied Japan. They are models of: Battleship IJN Fuso, Heavy Cruiser IJN Maya and Submarine IJN I55 These came from the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy at Etajima. They are crude, but interesting. The owner wanted it to maybe go back to Japan, but I checked, and Japan didn't want it.

May 26, 20206 yr #3 The IJNA at Etajima might now want them back, but they ARE part of their Naval history. Hold on to them. You never know when somebody might be interested in them. Semper Fi. Manny
