Star Army of Yamatai
YSE Department of Education
I am contacting both departments to determine the interest and practicality in preserving historical examples of classes of obsolete vessels for museum or educational purposes. Our military has been the driving force behind our rich history, which we are still in the relative beginning of, but we tend to use ships of obsolete classes to extinction or refit all known examples. A notable example is the Sakura-class, of which no known time-correct units survive. The museum dedicated to the YSS Sakura has to use a to scale mockup, which is a sad fact when noting the impact of the class on our culture and history.
Other ships which are in danger of being lost forever to future generations are the Nozomi and Yuuko (use until depleted), the Ketsueki (only eight known surviving examples survive, all in the Seventh Fleet), the Irim (Many have been upgraded from Type 26 to Type 30 specs, and even these are to be used to extinction), and various others. Even though I designed an upgrade to the Yui-class Scout, the Yui 7, I've yet to sell back my old Yui 5 in fear that the class would perish entirely. Thankfully, the YSS Yui has thus far been preserved, so that may not happen for some time.
Future generations may well want to see what ships the Empire used in its early days to found and defend itself, and at this rate abysmally few examples(if any) will survive of many classes. I feel that a general Star Army Museum or a series of them are needed to preserve examples of our military history for future generations, and would like to see if there is a common interest in such a thing between the relevant departments in the government.
