#1 ..Actually, a pretty good - and face-saving - compromise: GW can run off shoreside power quite easily, and the reactors can be kept at high readiness that will allow them to be brought online fast.

#2 And how many nuke reactors are the Japanese using for domestic power production?

#5 What's kinda weird is that the Japanese had a major incident in the past couple of years where four people died, and they're worried about foreign reactors?

#7 Uh oh. Shipster?

GW has enough inboard diesel to keep it going while the other ranks are ashore.

#8 If you keep your reactor running, it attracts Godzilla like a light does a moth.

#12 I'm confused. Nuclear ships always shutdown when tied up at the pier and always go on shore power. So, if the writer thinks that the reactor is shutdown while in Yokusaka harbor, I don't think so. Something that big can't be handled just by tugs. The ship'll need its own engines to be properly handled in harbor.

Gimme a break! Ghidra has three electricity-shooting heads and can fly!! How could any of the other monsters compete with that? When he got beat, those movies lost all their credibilty, IMHO. =)

#14 Ghidra has three electricity-shooting heads and can fly!!
And just who do you think is supplying the shore power? Why hasn't anyone seen any gigantic radioactive foam rubber monsters rampaging Tokyo lately? It because they've hold out to the MAN, I tells ya.
