Times Change, Japanese-Owned NYK Remus Just Cruised By Savannah

We just saw the NYK Remus cruise down the Savannah River by Savannah, heading out toward the ocean.  Definitely something we wouldn't have seen back during World War II.  It is a container ship and loaded high with containers.

During World War II, the NYK Line, Nippon Yusen Kaisha, provided military transport and hospital ships for the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy.  It lost many ships during the war.  Only 27 remained after losing 185 to Allied attacks.

Of 36 passenger ships in its fleet before the war, only one remained.
