Nagato is holding her naval ensign that had been in the possession of Capt. Cornelius W. Flynn before he passed it onto a friend and fellow soldier. In 2006, as shown in the video, the son of this friend auctioned it on the show "開運!なんでも鑑定団" where it was appraised and priced at 10 million yen. One of the hosts, actor Ishizaka Kōji, bought it on his own expense and donated it to the Kure Maritime Museum.

Incorporated into the translation of the footnotes. Thanks for the info here.
Only thing left now is, I'm not in touch with Japanese pop culture enough to know how the actor's nickname (incorporated in the last remaining untranslated portions) is supposed to be pronounced. Is it "hyou-chan" or "hei-chan"?
