The visit reaches Mikasa just after the site has closed, so this first encounter is limited to the ship's exterior. Her appearance is enough to build anticipation for a return when the museum is scheduled to open at 8:00 the next morning. The short walk around the site introduces Mikasa as a preserved warship in Yokosuka before any detailed interpretation begins. It is a visual first look rather than an account of the ship's history.
