    Some very interesting pictures, and some extreme manglish to read as well.
    Thankfully, the packages Japan from have recieved I many past occurred.
    Thusly, manglish language my second type is much.

    Thanks for posting this. I'd seen some of these pics before, but most of them I had not. Very interesting webpage!

    The picture of the turret being hoisted out of the water is pretty common, I had never seen any of the shots of the raised hull sections.

    Well there you go I'd never even heard that they'd started to salvage the hull.

    I think the closest group to you is in Virginia. We are the Mid-Atlantic Battle Group and our web-site is www.mabg.org. Hop on the site and give us a shout. If you are interested in talking with us, we will be at the 2012 Makers Faire in North Carolina June 16th.

    There was an article in Warship a year or so back about the sinking of Mutsu. Not sure how much detail was gone into about the salvage work.
