Still alert against any dying treachery we went to Japan as to War — prepared. All hands were topside to get a first glimpse of Tokyo. No chances were taken, for there was the Missouri, the New Jersey, the South Dakota and dozens of other warships, all flying colors fore and aft signifying that they were in enemy waters and prepared. Under the silent protection of these mighty guns which had sounded the death knell of aggression we took our place and anchored. The day before the signing of the treaty we made fast to a dock at Yokohama the fourth ship to tie up. Admiral of the Fleet Nimitz, Admiral Halsey stood on the deck of the U.S.S. Buchanan and watched as we passed alongside to tie up at the berth ahead. The morning of the signing we, in our turn, watched General MacArthur, General Wainwright of Battaan, General Stillwell of Burma and China pass by on their way to board this same ship. These were the men who had marked so well the road to Japan. Following the signing of the Surrender we could stand on the deck of our ship and watch the first raising of Old Glory on Japan ' s home soil and the landing of the occupation troops as the First Cavalry swarmed ashore. We were to see the Japs and talk with them. We saw what two hours of bombing had done to Yokohama. These first days were HISTORY and we were there. 76
