From the array

It is a spot that reminds us that Kure was once the home of the Navy. Submarines and escort vessels belonging to the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Kure base are moored in Kure Bay, which spreads out in front of you, and its appearance is overwhelming. You can also see the old torpedo unloading crane up close. The surrounding area has a retro atmosphere with brick buildings of the former Navy Arsenal, and the battleship Yamato was also built in secret at a nearby dock. Times have changed, and now it is a park where anyone can enjoy a walk freely. The origin of the name "Array Karasukojima" comes from the name of a small island called "Karasukojima" (reclaimed as a torpedo launching training ground in the Taisho era) in Kureura with a circumference of 30-40m, and an English path (array). What came from. Why do not you take a leisurely stroll through the array (path) surrounded by green and brick colors? If you go to sunrise or sunset, you can see the flags of each ship and the raising and surrender of the SDF flag.
