On the way back from OCEANS 2018 Charleston, I visited the National museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas, mainly for looking at the birthplace of Freet Admiral Nimitz and studying the American view of the Pacific War. I stayed at the museum all day through.
     I and my team found the wreck of 14,000-ton passenger ship “Taiyo Maru” which was sunk in 1942 in the East China Sea by the torpedoes from USS Grenadier (SS-210) resulting in 817 lives loss, at 140 meters in depth in August two months ago. Grenadier surrendered and sank at the Malacca Strait in 1943. The name of Grenadier was in the middle of “Deeds and Roll Call” written by Nimitz.
     The Japanese garden which was designed as a replica of the private garden of Gensui The Marquis Togo, the main Imperial Japanese Navy commander, is attached to the museum. Its title is “The Garden of Peace”. In the dry land of Texas, the garden produces a singular point, but I felt Nimitz’ deep understanding of Japan.
