+'''Godzilla Minus One''' (Japanese: ゴジラ-1.0; '''''Gojira Mainasu Wan''''') is the 2023 installment of Toho's long-running [[Godzilla_(disambiguation)|Godzilla franchise]]. The film opens near the end of the Pacific War, as Navy pilot Kōichi Shikishima, sent on a kamikaze mission, feigns a mechanical issue and instead lands his Zero at a small maintenance airfield on Odo Island. While there, a large dinosaur-like monster emerges and kills all present except for Kōichi and the lead mechanic, Sōsaku Tachibana. After the war, Kōichi finds employment aboard the ''Shinsei Maru'', a small boat helping to clear the thousands of leftover American and Japanese sea mines. After Godzilla is inadvertently exposed to the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll, massively increasing its size and giving it "atomic breath", the monster makes its way towards Japan, damaging and sinking several USN ships along the way.

	Several Chi-To tanks are seen attempting to drive Godzilla out of Ginza. In addition to their Type 5 75mm main cannon, each tank is also equipped with a [[Type 97 tank machine gun]] in the hull. Like the Shinden, the Chi-To was developed very late in the war and intended for the defence of the home islands, but extremely few were produced.

			In addition to her primary armament of ten 20cm/50 3rd Year Type No.2 cannons (actually 20.3cm) in five twin turrets, heavy cruiser ''Takao'' features four twin [[Type 89 naval gun\|12.7cm/40 Type 89 cannons]] for long range anti-air work.

	~~The heavy cruiser~~ ''Takao'' ~~features~~ several twin [[Type 96 cannon]]s ~~for close range anti-air defence~~. ''Takao'' is noted as returning from Singapore, given back to Japan as a means of defending against Godzilla, rather than being scuttled (as historically happened). The ships which appear in the film, notably ''Takao'' and the four destroyers previously mentioned (''Yukikaze'', ''Hibiki'', ''Yuukaze'', ''Keyaki'') were all among the very few IJN ships to survive the war, thus their appearances are very much appropriate. The destroyers were previously armed with Type 96s as well, but by this time the ships have been disarmed, with these removed and their main guns' barrels cut off.		In terms of lighter AA, ''Takao'' also mounts several twin [[Type 96 cannon]]s. ''Takao'' is noted as returning from Singapore, given back to Japan as a means of defending against Godzilla, rather than being scuttled (as historically happened).

			==Disarmed destroyers==
			The ships which appear in the film, notably ''Takao'' and the four destroyers previously mentioned (''Yukikaze'', ''Hibiki'', ''Yuukaze'', ''Keyaki'') were all among the very few IJN ships to survive the war, thus their appearances are very much appropriate. The destroyers were disarmed after the war, with their lighter mounts removed and their main armament either removed or simply left in place with the barrels cut off. As a portion of the guns remain present, even if no longer functional, they'll all be noted together in one entry. All of these destroyers were previously armed with varying numbers of Type 96 cannons and/or Type 93 machine guns, though all have been completely removed.

	==12.7cm/40 Type ~~89==~~		''Kagerou''-class destroyer ''Yukikaze'' retains her forward turret, its two 12.7cm/50 3rd Year Type cannons left in place with the barrels cut off at the forward edge of the turret. ''Fubuki''-class destroyer ''Hibiki'' also retains her turrets, originally armed with the same guns, though it appears hers were removed entirely. ''Minekaze''-class destroyer ''Yuukaze'' was armed with four single 12cm/45 3rd Year Type cannons, however these have been removed. ''Matsu''-class destroyer ''Keyaki'' retains her single forward 12.7cm/40 Type 89 mount, with the gun's barrel cut off; this is the same gun type fitted as twin mounts on the ''Takao''-class.
	~~In terms~~ of ~~larger armament~~, ''~~Takao~~'' is armed with four ~~twin [[~~Type ~~89 naval gun\|~~12.7cm/40 Type 89 ~~cannons]] for heavy anti-air work~~, as ~~well as ten 20cm/50 3rd Year Type No~~.~~2 cannons (actually 20~~.~~3cm) in five twin turrets as~~ her ~~primary armament~~.
