大和魂 “Yamato Damashii” meaning “Japanese Spirit”, it is a Japanese term that refers to the cultural values and characteristics of the Japanese people.

Akagi (赤城/あかぎ, Red Castle in Japanese) was an aircraft carrier built for the IJN, named after Mount Akagi in present-day Gunma Prefecture. Though she was laid down as an Amagi-class battlecruiser, Akagi was converted to an aircraft carrier while still under construction to comply with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. Akagi participated in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. After bombarding American forces on the atoll, Akagi and the other carriers were attacked by aircraft from Midway and the carriers Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown. Dive bombers from Enterprise severely damaged Akagi. When it became obvious she could not be saved, she was scuttled by Japanese destroyers to prevent her from falling into enemy hands.
