does anyone know the locations of these ships

both the nipponmaru and the kaiwo maru training ships were replaced by ships of the same name

Regarding the Nippon Maru and the Kaiwo Maru. The Nippon Maru is permanently docked in Sakuragicho and the Kaiwo in Toyama. A little bit of investigation though turned up sailing schedules for both these ships. It turns out that there are two of each. These ships were replaced with ships of the same name and I was able to locate the second Nippon Maru. It had been damaged in a storm last year I believe and is currently being repaired in nearby Shin-Sugita. I was told that I would be able to enter the factory to take some shots by the ship staff but when I called the factory I was told it was impossible. I think they didn't want the hassle.
