Former Japanese battleship Nagato steams towards Bikini atoll in the Pacific, where it would be used as a target for the atomic bomb test. She was the only Japanese battleship to survive WWII, note the smoke stacks had been destroyed. Curious question, what was the crew make up for the sailing from Japan to Bikini? #operationcrossroads #kwajaleinatoll #bikiniatoll #navalsafari #aviationsafari #aviationpreservation #boneyardsafari #ijn #nagato
