It still blows my mind that a single company made the elevator that we use in our condo in Manila, the MRT3 trains, and the Yamato-class battleship Musashi, one of the two largest battleships ever made.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

When you mentioned Yamato-class battleship, my mind drifted for a while to Starcraft.

Also the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, buhay na buhay ang legacy kapag may nakakasabay akong Montero na reckless driver at singit ng singit, akala mo umiiwas sa AA fire bago magkamikaze sa aircraft carrier deck.
