THE LAND OF WISE BAMBOO YOKOSUKA, TOKYO and KAMAKURA Yokosuka, Japan was our second Westpac stop. When we viewed Japan we were confronted with a symbolic token of the huge, teeming land we were about to enter. The picture at the left, taken through an early morning haze, shows the world ' s largest hammerhead crane which virtually dwarfs the second largest carrier, the USS CONSTELLATION (CVA 64). During some 70 years, the destiny of Yokosuka as Japan ' s largest naval port rose or declined following the increase or decrease in the size of the Japanese Navy. After the end of World War II, Yokosuka stepped up its building of cit - industry, trade port and sight seeing attractions. Former militar ' installations have been transformed to such industries as automobiles, cotton spinning, reeling and canned foods. Thus, she has become a peaceful city of industry ' and a port with a population of 300,000. Beneath the Naval Base at Yokosuka, a network of tunnels which zig zag and intersect for some 20 miles or more, forms a laby- rinth that for years has stirred the curiosity of the Navy men who have been here. The caves were begun in 1940 as air-raid shelters and as the war progressed, work was stepped up so that by 1945 the excavations housed quarters for the base personnel department, arsenal, all machine shops, communications equipment, two midget submarine plants, and even a 100 bed hospital. There are 437 entrances located throughout the base and new caves have accidentally been uncovered in recent years. One such cave was discovered recently as an earth roller drop- NiV ' ped from sight while tamping do vn a roadbead behind the base petty officer ' s club. Railway transportation is available to all parts of Japan from Yokosuka. The pictures seen here are but a few of the sights which we saw while visiting this port. I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE CHANGED BUSES AT EL CATON AND 42ND.
