Yup, today Kaga was opened for the public for the first time. It was a special occasion - Curry Festival organised by JMSDF in Kure Naval Base. You can go there, taste tons of differnt curry tastes coming from each of JMSDF ships and tour aboard JS Kaga was one of the main events this day. Next year it should be combined with a naval review.
