Japan The ship arrived in Sasebo, japan, on the 14th of September 1953 and had many occasions to re- visit tnat port. Our other stopping-place in japan WRS Yokosuka Qpronounced Yokuskalj in Tokyo Bay. The crew feels that Yokosuka was the most beautiful of the two because of its many attractions. Mt. Fuji is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. When viewed from the ship on a clear day it forms a very interesting background for the many hills and valleys that IAPLAN is noted for. For the not so hardy gentlemen , the Enlisted Men's Club was a main attraction. Most everyone else paid a few visits to the store of packaged spirits which was next door to the E.M. Club. Also there were many thousands of Cabarets and rest homes scattered throughout the city. For nightclub atmos- phere the Grand Shima for surpassed any other es- tablishment in the city. The boys feel that some of the performers would rank with Lili St. Cyr and Rose La Rose in their profession. Although the ship didn't sta as long in Sasebo as Yokosuka we still feel as though we got our money's worth. The only resemblance Sasebo bore to Yokosuka was the people and the price of a bus. . We all feel that the japanese people were friendly, courteous, and very thoughtful to the American servicemen. Everyone, with the exception of a few short timers, is looking forward to a return visit to the land of Fuji. Amenl 'fi' Wife LI E 5
