Our second stop was USS Kidd, a WW2 battleship that is now open to the public as a museum. The ship allowed us to have a glimpse into how sailors used to live and work. But as Japanese, it was a little hard to witness some historical remains of the war, where Japan was America’s enemy, such as newspaper clippings that mention Japan was defeated. Additionally, there were some remains of Japanese items, like samurai swords, which had been belonged to a Japanese soldier. Considering today’s political and economic ties between the two, it is hard to believe that we fought the war more than half a century ago.
