Z Flag.
This is coolbert:
"Hoist the Z flag!!"
It seems the missing Z flag has been found.
The flag flown by the Japanese Admiral Togo during his climactic battle at Tsushima in 1905. The defeat of the Russian fleet by Togo meant an end to the Russo-Japanese War, with victory going to the Japanese.
With that victory, and a decisive victory at that, Japan became a world power to be reckoned with. Prior to 1905, Japan was still considered to be a feudal, backwards Asian country. After 1905, Japan was now in the same league as the U.S. and the various European powers. And ascending rapidly with further development of all types too!!
It had been thought for some time that the Z flag was flown by Admiral Nagumo just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Evidently this is NOT so!! Perhaps the message was the same, "let every man do his duty", but the flag that Nagumo flew WAS NOT the Z flag of Togo.
It seems the Z flag has been in the keep of the British since the end of the war between Japan And Russia. Was entrusted to the British as a sign of good will by Togo.
And only recently discovered by a Shinto priest who had been on an almost chivalrous quest for the "relic".
NOW it has been found [the flag]. Of course, this flag is just not mere bunting or cloth. Represents the ascendancy of Japan into the category of world power. And demonstrates that the Japanese are not 2nd rate in any manner. Is a powerful symbol. I hope it is not misused!!
