Photo by Williani Randolph By james Carpenter In the early hours of morning, the ship came within sight of the coastline of our first port. japan, land of the rising sun, welcomed the United States Navy vessels with the American and japanese National Anthems as the ROANOKE made her way through the narrow opening into Sasebo Harbor. The port was to be the first on this 1986-87 Westpac, and what a port it was. japan welcomed us with open arms and warm hearts. The polite hospitality of the people of japan was in full swing as the people readied themselves for some two thousand sailors swarming into the small city. And the city was ready for us. The lights of the city lit up the streets around famed Sailor Town , where many night clubs stayed open to serve the sudden surge in the population. Outside the city, the rice fields and handtended gardens provided scenes for outstanding pictures and the crew took full advantage. A camera was a vital part of a sailor's liberty uniform while in Sasebo. The crew left the port with some remorse as we took to the open sea a week later. The islands, like green emeralds spread across the ocean, drifted out of sight as we headed south for the Philippines. is r. QL! I .wg X if 'r Photo by Paul Hildebrandt 7?j,'+- Ll. Eg!-ff S , - sim,
