It is of course, as Canoerebel pointed out, Angus Mutsu after whom the Yamashiro was named.

There are some who call ships 'it' and not 'she'. Don't know why, whether its PC or whatever, I am sure there is no single reason and each to their own.
But to me, ships are ladies and after over 50 years on this planet, I am not changing now [:)].

First Chipping Sparrow this year.
we have a lot of Confederate Violets here. Very edible. People use to dip them, and other flowers, into a sugar and egg white mixture to put on cakes.
Some Violets will flower underground.
Dandelions, Violets, Nettles and Plantain are all on the menu. Redbud flowers also.

I'll leave this overnight before posting a clue (in the unlikely event that that proves necessary).
