why pink? Shinano was pink. the shinano deck was 260 m in length, entirely made of steel for added impact resistance like taihou-chan, the diference here is that she was coated with a buffer layer composed of a mixture of rubber, red cedar (sugi) and red pine (akamatsu ), which gave her a distinctive pink hue. She is the half sister of yamato and shinano and very very shy, she has only two photos taken.
