The initial trip to Japan with occupation forces. howeyer in stilled new life into 530 and it was a proud bunch that stood on deck as she nosed into Tokyo Bay in September of 1945. Yokohama and Tokyo saw the crew at liberty, and a bit later Northern Japan l.Hokkaidol was overrun with 530 men wearing thickest foul weather gear to keep out the freezing cold. Hurricane and blizzard weather, along with the omnipresent threat of the typhoon kept all hands on their toes and busy. More than once 530 was caught in the worst weather: she went through a corner of the disastrous typhoon that wrecked so much shipping off Okinawa, travelled from the hot, humid, tropic temperatures of the Philippines to the icy fog-bound regions of Northern Japan. She ploughed her way through fair time and foul with a steady and fortunate record of performance and good luck that only now one can dare to brag about. I'm glad I was aboard for so long, and to have known you men who served aboard her with me. When I left in De- cember of 1945, I knew I could never forget the ship, nor any of her crew.
