The old departs . . . It has been said many times in the Navy that the only thing that is certain is that there will be a change soon. The ship is nearly always going from one place to another, the operational publications are in a state of constant revision and hardly a division or squadron can go through a month without losing or gaining a new man. And once every year the Great Yellow Shirt at BuPers sends Midway a new Captain. Our new one, Capt. Roy M. Isaman, re- ported aboard just before the ship left San Francisco. After studying the duties of Commanding Ofificer first-hand on the trip to Pearl Harbor, he relieved Capt. Dose. The ceremony was held in Hangar Bay Two while the ship was tied up at Ford Island. With a new Captain at the helm, the Operational Readiness Inspection passed, and our first port-of-call behind us, the Midway put to sea and headed West — to the East. Next stop would be in our home-away-from home, Yokosuka, Japan. and so do we.

JAPAN 76 Words are an attempt to grip and disect that which in ultimate essence is as ungrip- pable as a shadow. So said Samuel Butler. When man first hit upon the idea to use one word to convey the meaning of a general concept, he let himself in on one of the most fascinating aspects of civilization. The word Japan for instance. To every person from the United States the word has a different meaning. To most it is a hazy world of Geishas, rice patties and, lately, a booming industry. To some it evokes the memory of a bitter, hard-fought war. To others it means the last outpost of the man ' s world, where the women are quiet, obedient and good housekeepers by upbringing. To those who visit Japan only one thing is certain, they will change their original concept of the country. For those who grow to love the enchanting place, the ancient words of Chuang-tse apply, A bait is used to catch fish. When you have gotten the fish, vou can forget about the bait. Words are used to express meaning; when you understand the meaning, you can forget about the words. Whether the meaning or the word, we will never forget the second. . . Life We See.
