sAsEBo, JAPAN APR 30 MAY 23 Twenty-four consecutive days was our longest inport time, and during this period we were having our upkeep at Sasebo, Japan. The culture and prosperity of the Japanese people was the most noticeable feature of our visit. The working day was spent accomplishing the many tasks that our operating tempo precluded having done before Leisure time was spent taking advantage of the many recreational activities and the crew of the MARIAS had the opportunity to participate in competetive sports with other commands. A tour of Nagasaki, the location of where one of the two Atomic bombs exploded in Japan during World War II, was a must for our slghtseers. Again, our shopp took advantage of many bargains, and many bicycles, motorcycles and Pachinko machines began to appear with the usual array of souvenirs. Some of the more lucky crew mem- bers took leave to vlslt relatives in Japan or had their loved ones visit them from the Peace Park, Nagasaki if . 1-il. Pachinko Parlor
