Survivor:Just make it to the end of war(Majority of WW2 ships that still afloat after 15 August 1945) Hardened Survivor:Must survive at least 5 years or more after WW2(Hibiki,Yukikaze) True Survivor:Must remain afloat to this day(Iowa)
This is one impressive image in many ways. A big thump up to the artist for drawing them all in "that" order and to the one(s) who tagged this. Had been a while since I last saw so many tags at once.

Oh okay, because you said it, now this picture feels a bit sad....
I remember this artist has contributed to a song about Kancolle fishery last year (which Akagi used chopsticks as drumsticks to strike the heat oven), but I couldn't find any related picture or clip about it in danbooru. Could anyone have the video ?

Technically, Mikasa isn't a World War Ship, she did not participated in any of the two World War battles, (she was active during World War I, but did not see actions). The Russo-Japanese War, a war which Mikasa participated as the flagship of the IJN under Grand Admiral Heihachirou Tougou (a person which Admiral Nimitz admires) happened from 1904 - 1905 is not part of World War I which happened from 1914 - 1918.
During World War I, she was assigned as a coastal defense ship to defend Maizuru. Mikasa was decommissioned after the implementation of the Washington Naval Treaty, she was about to be scrapped but the government agreed that she'd become a memorial ship because of the value she serve during the Battle of Tsushima which put Japan as one of the major naval powerhouses around the globe. Unfortunately she was neglected during the span of the Second World War but during the American Occupation of Japan, thanks to Admiral Nimitz, Mikasa was preserve since like I've said, he admires Admiral Togo, or the Americans just wanted to troll the Russians since Mikasa pretty much symbolized one of their worst defeats.
I don't think any franchise has managed to create these feels for ships since One Piece. It probably helped that in both cases, the ships were sentient, but still.

Didn't watch One Piece and usually avoid tear jerker stories, so I think the last time I shed tears for ship is when they have to give up on Amaterasu in Starship Operators.
'Tis not what I read in Wikipedia. From what I gathered, no WWII IJN ship survived and remained in Japan to become part of the JMSDF.
As far as I know there is Tachibana-class destroyer Nashi/JDS Wakaba, sunk in 1945, salvaged in 1954, and following being repaired at Kure was commissioned into JMSDF in May of 1956.
