Kure is a city in [[Hiroshima prefecture]], known chiefly for its historical role as the site of a major early 20th century naval base. It was at this base that the battleship ''Yamato'', one of the largest and most powerful battleships ever built, was constructed. Today, much of the former naval facilities are used by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Forces (''kaijô jieitai'').
