Hey there, you little ones, let me tell you about this thing called Jinryoku Senkan. It’s a, uh, story, yeah, a story about these big ships. Not the kind you see these days, no, no. These are old ones, from that big war they had, long time ago.

Jinryoku Senkan? What’s That?
Well, it’s kinda like, you know those big boats? But these ain’t for fishing or nothing. These were for fighting, back in the day. Big old warships, they called ’em. They got these names, Shiokaze and Sawakaze. Sounds funny, don’t they?
They was in this place, Onahama, in Iwaki, far far away in the coastal region. That’s in Fukushima, someplace I ain’t never been. But anyway, that’s where these Jinryoku Senkan ships was. Not sure why, but that’s what they say.
These Ships, Shiokaze and Sawakaze
These two, Shiokaze and Sawakaze, they was important, I guess. After the war, see, they weren’t for fighting no more. They used ’em to block the waves, like a big wall in the water. Breakwaters, they call that. They put ’em in the Onahama Port, protect the other boats, maybe.
- Shiokaze, that’s one of ’em.
- Sawakaze, that’s the other.
- They was warships, big and strong.
- Used in Onahama, in Iwaki.
But this story, this Jinryoku Senkan thing, it ain’t real, you know? It’s like, made up. Like they’re people, or something. Ships acting like people! Can you believe that?
It’s Just a Story, Not Real
This story, they make it sound like these ships, Shiokaze and Sawakaze, can talk and do things. Like they got a mind of their own. Silly, ain’t it? But I guess that’s what makes it a story. Don’t go thinking it’s real, though.

Onahama Port, Where It All Happened
This Onahama Port, that’s where these ships, Shiokaze and Sawakaze, ended up. After they was done with the war, they put ’em there. Like I said, to block the waves. Kept the other boats safe, I suppose.
This story, it’s all about that place, I think. About Onahama Port, and these two ships. They make it sound like a big deal. Maybe it was, back then. Hard to say.
Lots of people make such a fuss about these old stories. Back in my day, we didn’t have time for such things. We were too busy working, trying to put food on the table. These young folks, they got it easy.
