I Z' bv A ar, if-'7 .4 - SUBIC BAY, PHILIPPINES While overseas with the Seventh Fleet, the lwo Jima was home- ported in Subic Bay in the Philippine Islands. We entered and left the familiar bay many times on our cruise before departing for the last time on the 14th of October. Most of our calls to Subic were short but unforgetable. Most of us will never forget Olongapo, which was just outside the main gate of the Naval Base. Gr the jeepneys whose drivers oareened through the unpaved streets honking their horns while taking you any place you preferred. Or those shoeshine boys at every corner who always had the same question: Wanna shine, joe? And how about the bars and the pretty, little Filipino girls.

OKINAWA Although a veritable military camp, Oki- nawa provided sailors with many spots to patronize when on liberty. There was the White Beach Enlisted Men's Club where a sailor could easily squander his money on the beckoning slot machines and booze, or the numerous small villages that dotted the island. Okinawa, as with the other ports we visited, offered quality products at unbeliev- able prices. Hand-cut figurines, phono- graphs, tape recorders, cameras, radios, and clothing were all prime items on the shopper's list. The natives of Okinawa, Ryukyuans, were very friendly and offered to us their gracious hospitality where ever we went.
