Quiet and secluded, it held the remains of a Japanese fortress which had long been deserted. The old gun emplacements Watched, like blinded eyes, when the crew turned topside to see the two toppled radio towers and the sunken tanker-- mementoes of an old, almost forgotten conflict. After paying respects to the naval personnel in charge of the radio station, the ship steamed to Nagoya where the troops disembarked. Then it was home- Ward bound -- to Yokosuka. chi hl Jima
