Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL of the Arisan Maru, a Japanese "hell ship" that was torpedoed while carrying Allied prisoners of war. None of the 1,781 passengers were killed by the explosion, but other Japanese ships refused to rescue them, resulting in only 9 survivors. by Jupitair

I think it has something to do with a ship being hit by a torpedo, and imperial Japan being extremely brutal towards American sailors/soldiers

Japan has been super chill since ww2, probably because the US has 7 military bases there and we have an agreement to protect them
