CHINA PORTS OF CALL WESTPAC Seagulls flock around the ship. Land is on the horizon. An air of anticipation sweeps through the crew. Finally, after many long days at sea there ' s going to be liberty tonight ! First stop is Yokosuka, Japan, the largest U. S. Naval installation in the western Pacific. The sailor ' s first impression of Yokosuka is likely to be that of a gawdy town consisting mainly of bars and souvenir shops. With a closer look, however, he can find beauty and serenity at Kinugasa Park, and a touch with tlie past at the restored battleship MIKASA, flagship of the famed Admiral Togo when he de- feated the Russian Fleet In the Russo-Japanese War of 1904. Yokosuka has the advantage of being close to the facinating cities of Yokohama and Tokyo and the exotic resort areas of Hakone, Mt. Fuji and Atam i. On liberty at Yokohama the sailor can visit the landscaped hills and gardens of the forty-acre Sankelen Garden bordering the sea, or take a short train ride to Kamakuraand climb inside the famous Daibutsu, the great 13th century bronze Buddha standing 42 feet high. Tokyo is truly an unforgetable city Ijoth by day and by night. Siglitseeing starts with the Imperial Palace at Marunouchi and ends at the 1,092-foot Tokyo Tower in Shiba Park where a breath-taking view of the city and surrounding countryside may be seen. At night, the entertainment world of lights and clubs makes Tokyo one of the famous international capitals of the world.
