| JS SAZANAMI #113 (さざなみ) |
JS SAZANAMI sailed thru the Kanmon Straits of Japan the afternoon of October 20, 2024. It was a pleasant sight to see. And, from the looks of it, the Sazanami's crew were enjoying the sights of Garden Paradise Kitakyushu and maybe even glancing a bit at the inferior Shimonoseki City side of the strait, as well.
