Harumi Wharf that connects the world ~ HMS Enterprise port call ~
Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
The other day, a senior correspondent, Saru, wrote an article about a large sailboat Esmerda in Chile, but at almost the same timing (October 22-24), the British survey ship HMS Enterprise (H88) also called at Harumi Wharf. Was calling.
As a British lover, I thought I couldn't miss it, so I went on a bicycle after leaving work and took pictures!
The ship is equipped with three monitoring systems, with about 50 people on board.
While conducting surveys on the seabed as a survey ship, we are currently working around the world to protect marine safety, such as mine control.
Prior to that, he belonged to the Second Permanent NATO Marine Group (Standing NATO Maritime Group 2/SNMG2), which is composed of ships from various countries and whose mission is the Mediterranean Sea, and was also the heroine who saved 9,180 people ^^
At the time of the visit, it was night, so I couldn't see the details in detail, but the letters of Enterprise found everywhere on the ship.
And the HMS in the name of the ship, which is called the ship prefix, stands for Her Majesty's Ship, which means "the ship of the Queen" in the case of the Royal Navy.
The first ship named Enterprise dates back to 1705, and now the tenth and subsequent ships are already active.
The ship that called this port began its mission in mid-October 2003, and its motto is "SPES ASPERA LEVAT".
And even at night, Silver Lion Lanpant had an eye-catching presence.
Because it is a ship belonging to the British Navy, you can also check the letters of Sailor!
During his stay in Japan, he conducted joint training with the Marine Self Defense Force and the UK, and had a place to improve tactics, strengthen cooperation, and promote mutual understanding.
Looking at the ship after knowing the role of HMS Enterprise so far, I was able to realize once again how Harumi Wharf is a place that connects the world and Japan.♪
A bus that runs at the Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum held on November 4 (Mon./holiday) (bus guide volunteers by correspondents of Chuo-ku Tourism Association board), but this year, Plaza Harumi-mae is the starting point and the end point .
Please note that it is not Harumi Wharf unlike last year.
However, the scenery (especially night view) of the Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, and buildings in the city center seen from Harumi Wharf is worth a visit, so if you have time, why not go to Harumi Wharf?
