I like the contrast between sail ship and a modern battle cruiser.

We don't need missiles! Haven't you ever heard of "RAMMING SPEED!"?
That Frigate will slice right through the wind hauler with barely a scratch on her hull paint!

BTW...
The warship is the JDF Atago. The hull designation corresponds to the Japanese Defense Forces.
This ship transited the Pacific with the US Navy from Japan to US/Canadian waters after the tsunami.
Actually, this is a very rare shot as the JDF do not often leave Japanese Territorial waters!

One good bump & the tin can is history, the mighty schooners win again, yeah in dreamworld.!!
Pete, I can't see the bow numbers clearly as I can't make the photo larger but it looks like the number is either 77 or 177 & I think its a destroyer, when & if I find my warships manual I'll look it up to be sure either that or I'll have my brother look at the picture he's the history/naval go to guy in the family.One look & he'll know even where it was built.!!
But you're right about the JDF ships rarely leaving home waters.

I have a reputation to uphold, so I'll be circumspect on this one. My research indicates the US is not in this tussle.
This one seems to be between Canada and the Japanese.
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
I am ever the egotistical SOB!
I thought it was the USS O Kane at initial glance but it is actually the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force ship ATAGO. A missile guided destroyer that is based from where I am at. The sail boat definitely wins since the destroyer is anchored.
I've visited Vancouver on 3 different occassions and we normally anchor out near the convention center or moor pier side. It was always a treat to visit the area except for the cold weather.

You are right it is a Japanese ship Pete
man you know your stuff buddy Yup! That's the one. Good ole Yokosuka, Japan.
You're the man Pete! However, the JMSDF do leave their territorial water since they pay close attention to NK and CH. Of course this is what tweety bird told me.

The comic book that you "read" about sailing and power craft is correct. Powered yields the right of way to a sailing craft.
I am NOT a sailor but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn before!
