' 2 1 iffff 1 f , ff The TOLEDO left Long Beach for the Orient on the evening of 14 October 1949. The operating schedule called for a tour of duty for the cruiser in WesPac, or Western Pacific, including Japanese waters and prob- ably the Philippines. With CA-133 were the HELENA, our partner in CruDiv 3, De- stroyer Squadron 1, and several auxiliaries. The trip over was routine, with the ex- ception of Operation MIKI, a minor peace- time invasion practice about the size of the recent affair at Normandy. Almost the whole Pacific Fleet was there-carriers, cruisers, destroyers, and auxiliaries, with the Army and Air Force also operating in force. For nearly two weeks, our diet in- cluded dawn and dusk alerts, General Quar- ters, Air Defenses, and miscellaneous exer- cises and night actions . . . never more than twenty-two hours a day. Climax of MIKI was the mock invasion of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands, defended by 6cAggT9SSOT,, forces supplied by our sister services. After a pre-invasion bombardment by the big guns and aircraft, waves of landing craft hit the beaches north of Barber's Point, and not long afterward we had met the enemy and they were ours. TOLEDO and HELENA then proceeded to Pearl Hwrbor for liberty -three whole days-before again heading westward. f it v ff 1 X ' 1 ' f'f' rf' f, ,' ,,wf,fy,Uki7,', ,f f MIKI over, HELENA and TOLEDO enter Pearl for liberty For the first time since the Taft administra- tion, the truth of that old chestnut, 'CA sailor is never too tired to go on liberty, was placed in doubt. MIKI had taken a heavy toll, and there were bodies aboard that were powerless to make it to the gangway. Never- theless, after a sound sleep of, say, ten min- utes, even the worst cases had recovered, and of we went . . . to-Honolulu, to Waikikit, to a bar. Three days, to a sailor, is sufficient time to see all the sights of a fair-sized continent. A little island like Oahu was just duck soup. Full of thoughts of the pretty hula gals and humming 66Now Is the Hour, we made our reluctant way to the ship as practically qualified natives. Sea details, one long blast on the bugle, and TOLEDO was once more doing what she did best . . . and in a westerly direetion.

An off-repeated scene- Tak san yen, Jo San. Ualwlmlwt... A wet grey mist hung over the narrow chan- nel into Yokosuka on the morning of 8 No- vember as the TOLEDO, at a cautious one- third speed, slid toward the inner harbor. The band on board the light cruiser USS IWANCHESTER, the ship we were to re- lieve, struck up first c'Somebody Else Is Tak- ing My Placef, then 'gCalifornia Here l Comei' as we came alongside her at For- restal Causeway. Across the way, the HEL- ENA was mooring to Piedmont Pier. There followed a hectic day of turning over rec- ords, data, and information-then out of Fleet Activities and eastward to the states went MANCHESTER and SAINT PAUL. We had the watch. As the flagship of the division commander, Rear Admiral Hart- man, we were to stay in Japanese waters for some three months, making the naval base of Yokosuka our base of operations, while HELENA went south with Commander Seventh Fleet, Vice Admiral R. S. Berkey, for a similar tour in the Philippine area. First liberties at the yard and in the city showed us a great deal about our new 'chomef' Here were clubs for all-officers, CPO'S, petty officers, enlisted men, the RTO to Yokohama and Tokyo, 'cBlack Market Alleyf, and in the yard was a movie, a skat- ing rink, bowling alleys, a ship,s store, and various war relics. The caves, formerly un- derground headquarters for the Tokyo Air Defense Command, were open. There was much to see at Yokosuka. A midget submarine-remnant of the once mighty Japanese Imperial Fleet. The night hcforc wc were due in Yokosuka the weather changed from lliilllly warmth to damp cold. hut had little dampening eifect on the liberty-starved crcw of the TOLEDO. Our departure fro111 Pearl had come just when things were to start rolling and the thought of a little relaxation and a cool draught of licer invaded everyone. As the veterans of the last cruise pointed out land 1narks during our approach, the first thing learned was that the u ill Yokosuka was not pronounced. As the ship pulled into Forrestal Cause- way alongside the MANCHESTER conver- sation across the life lines went on at a great rate. The location of various clubs was a primary question, but was followed very closely by the request, WThat's the dope on this place? From this many different an- swers came forth. It was learned that the restrictions placed on the Occupation Forces were slowly being relaxed. You couldn't ride the trains free any more, but phone calls were still on reparations and the Noritake and Cloisonne products were good buys. These things were learned of course only after the ufavorite spotsw and a couple of good addresses were given. The Navy Fleet Activities boasted of four fine clubs: HEM,', uPO,', CPU and Officers and it was at these that many happy hours were passed during the next three months. There were the usual hars and snack bars with weekly entertainment of dances or stage shows. One club also had several very well-attended stag parties. Before long everyone wandered out in town to look around. The sights which greeted the eye were certainly different from what we knew whack home. The first was the number of people, every place you looked people and more people, and the kimono they wore, the wooden shoes which made the people shuffle instead of walk. To these were added the papoose effect of the Over this spot .pass the best damn sailors ln the world.

Then the most startling point of all-the Japanese did not have slant eyes. Oh well, it was live and learn and we did both. uBlack Market Alley, behind the EM Club, was investigated early in the cam- paign and the steady flow of pyjamas, ki- mono, china, lacquer and ivory began to load the ship, heading for family and friends back home. With this the problem of uyenn came up. With the rate of exchange three-sixty yen to one dollar and the one hundred yen note the largest printed, there just wasn't room i'n an already crowded suit of blues for much. A few crew members never strayed far from the bordering hills of Yokosuka, but the Wanderlust of the uwhite hat caught hold of many and the neighboring towns were investigated. Close to the main gate was the RTO where electric trains could be boarded for Taura, Zushi, Kamakura, Kita- kamakura, Ofuna, Totsuka, Hodogaya, Yokohama, Shinagawa, Shimbashi and Tokyo. The way this lineup was called by the station master over the public address system is something none of us will forget. With liberty expiring at 2400 or earlier de pending on rate and sometimes on what di v1s1on you were in, Yokohama, forty mm utes away, was the last regular liberty town and became a habit with many as d1d all of the smaller towns along the way The trams earned the respect of all If the schedule said 2247, anyone who wasn t there right at that time earned the right to have a private chat with the Captain the next day There were special Occupation coaches and for this we were happy because even a t1lCd and true veteran of the New York subway had to admit they had never seen anything like the crowds on thi third class coaches at rush hours The ride presented many lnterestlng ex amples of the Japanese panorama Clear to the end of the lme the C1t1CS piaetlcalls merged, but many 1106 paddles lying dor if f ,,,, J ,f.

Many of these had been refitted as hotels for the Uccupation personnel. A few blocks up on Avenue Aj, was the Dai Ichi building in which General MacArthur had his offices. Across from this the Imperial palace grounds were sur- rounded by two moats. This was a point of interest for every Tokyo sightseer probably with the hope of catching a fleeting glimpse of some member of the Imperial family. Heading in the other direction from the NRTOW we came to one of the famous streets of the world, the uGinza. Along this were located the large stores, both Japanese and foreign owned, but the fame of the avenue is due to the solid bank of small stalls which line both si'des as far as the eye can see. Each sells its own particular wares and is defi- nitely out of the rent district while in the high rent district, so to speak. Some of the dope passed over the rail from the MANCHESTER must have con- cerned the institution of the usukiyakin party because back in Yokosuka these began to flourish. By making proper arrangements with the Provost Marshal such a party could be held at one of several local restaurants. Once arranged the party was something to remember. The food itself, a glorified and very delicious beef stew of sorts, makes a fine dinner, but the Japanese beer and saki which go hand in hand with it, plus, of course, the Geisha to serve it, added the fin- ishing touches. The only possible difficulty was the manipulation of the chop sticks, the finer points of which escaped many as did much of the food enroute to the mouth. Nagoya. famed Japanese port. industrial center. and home of the prineipal Hitsu- bishi aircraft plants was our first stop out- side of 1-0h'0S1lh'll. Late in Norenilwr ive made the short trip dotrn the roast of Hon- shu to Nagoya. and fought our :ray into the pier against the attaching jets of the Fifth lir Foree. It seemed that just nobody loved llS-r0l'0I'j'll'll0l'0 we u'ent. attaching units were sure to greet us. send us to G. or ,Jir Defense. But they provided a -ueleome like the one at Nagoya when we finally docked. The Air Force band on the end of our pier blared out 'Ulnehors :l1l'Uigll,, and Off in Go Into the Wild Blue Yonderv an Honor Guard was paraded, and we were there. The Air Foree had it all arranged-bus schedules to town, guides for tours, open doors at the elu bs-and the Navy had cause to take full advantage of such hospitality. The city was covered like a blanketn in no time, as we sau' ruins, clubs, Cloisonne, damascene, the Noritake factory-as we saw Nagoya. First of the Hcocktail runsf' it was remembered as one ofthe very best. Full honors for Commanding General, Sth Alr Force Even in Japan they play shuffleboard The scene is th esame in Nagoya, Long Beach or Timbucfu A bunch of the boys . . . Before anyone had much of an opportunity to accustom himself to the different ways of doing the same thing, this familiar note was seen in the plan-of-the-day: Wlhe ship expects to get underway at l000.'i This time we were to go out and help the local Air Force boys repel an attack by people wear- ing the same uniform, hut stationed on Okinawa. The next few days while we cruised slowly up and down the southern coast with our radars forever looking, the various air de- fense stations again were well inhabited, MIKI remembered and the future seen if not realized. Finally the HFEAF Test was over and the ship headed for Nagoya. With a thirty-mile, very shallow channel, the special sea details set a new record of four hours on station before the ship threaded its way alongside the pier to the 111usic of the Air Force band there to greet us. Already we were beginning to find at least one thing to the satisfaction of all-in the three ports visited since Long Beach was left far astern we had tied up all three timesg the likes of this had not been seen since the days of midshipman cruises. Nagoya was good liberty. Here was lo- cated the headquarters of the 5th Air Force and they had the place well organized with an Airmenis Club and another for the Top Three Gradersfi The latter was unusual nomenclature, but no one seemed to experi- ence any trouble translating it. The Air Force liaison people also told us that there was quite a hit to see around. Nr. lVlikimoto's pearls, so many of which were to join the already-mentioned stream of local products heading across the water. came from this area, and some went out to look over the pearl farm.

Early in December, TOLEDO began the longest tour out of Yokosuka, a two-and-one- half week jaunt to Nagasaki, Sasebo, and Fukuoka in the southernmost of the main Japanese islands, Kyushu, then through the narrow and treacherous Strait of Shi- moneseki to Kure on the southern tip of Honshu on the 'Ginland sea. From Kure we returned to Yokosuka for the Christmas holidays. At Nagasaki, the ship entered a well- protected, lovely harbor, circled almost completely by high rolling hills. Here was the home of Cho-Cho-San, the famous Ma- dame Butterfly of the Puccini opera, here was the Ouri Church, one of the most im- pressive of the whole East, here for the sightseer were shops, quaint little streets, the Takarazuka dance hall, here, too,,was the site of the first atom bomb dropped on a war-mad Japan in 1945. Tours covered all these and more. A short run around the western tip of Kyushu brought us to Sasebo, and for the first time in Japan we Gdropped the hook -anchoring in the ship-filled harbor for a short weekend stay that gave us a chance to meet the Army stationed there and to see the sights of a rather out-of-the-way Japa- nese port, and the small Fleet Activities Navy unit there. Fukuoka, only part of a dayas sailing to the north, offered another chapter in the story of our Nippon wander- ings.

The Hiroshima alom bomb landed fo ihe lefl of this building second atomic lronib. The Peaee Building, directly under the explosion, stands as the most vivid monulnent to the airfzil moment of heat 11nd devastation. Back in Kure, at the Signal Sergeants llless, at the Ojffieers club, everyurliere, there was a ufarm feeling of genuine friendship betufeen Hhostsn and their guests. The tour to Eta Jima, Japanese Naval flcaderny of earlier days, and to the Para- dise Isle of Mia Jima, near Kure, was one of the significant parts of the stop. The famed Torii of illia. Jima, through which, legend holds, a fisherman may push his boat for luck, was one ofthe most photographed sub- jects of o11r stay at Kure. The shrine island of Mia Jima, Nagasaki's atomic bomb landed here. The maiority of pearl farm workers are women. One of Mr. Mikimofo's world famous pearl farms. Nagasaki, the first port of the southern Japan cruise, was very different in another Way from anyplace we had been or would be. There was only a small military govern- ment team here, no large Army or Air Force units, and we all learned that Occupation Clubs werenit necessary for a good liberty. A couple of dances were organized and were a lot of fun. There was also a sulciyaki party for some. The site of the first atom bomb was visited and the lack of any large buildings for quite a distance was the best indication. The other spot of interest was the home of Madame Butterfly and a visit seemed appropriate al- though the TOLEDO didn't have a Lt. Pinkerton. The next port was Sasebo, the other Navy base in ,lap an. It was a small base of only a hundred people, so again it was scout to town for liberty. The point tobe remembered about Fukuoka was the long and confusing boat ride in the fog and rain to the landing, that is, unless you happened to be in the 5th division and came back at 2030 before it started to rain. At Kure We were the guests of the British Common- wealth Occupation Forces, the Australians in particular. - 7 The famed Torii, Mia Jima. f'v.1e.Qeg.wss, A - 5.1 S: x ' -'lt - i an P? if! ?g ,Wm Hiroshima. lf's all in the day's work-fueling al' sea. A pair of shoes gels a thorough check. Oops' Such hosts we were not again to see until Hong Kong. Nlany drinking bouts were in order and in none reported to date did any of us come out better than a very poor second. From Kure trips were taken to Hiroshima where the full power of an atomic blast was seen, to Mia Jima, one of the most famous japanese religious shrines, and to Eta Jima, the former Naval Academy. During the stay in Japanese waters the shipboard routine went on its normal way. Morning scrub down was held, bright work polished, surfaces chipped, wire brushed, chromated and painted. Equipment had casualties and was repaired and the never- to-be-forgotten weekly training schedule came into being. Every conceivable sort of drill from how to wash cups for the mess cooks to close order drill for the landing force was done over and again. The bugler, who has always been an unpopular man in any service, sank to an even lower level with his four drill calls each day. Shipboard athletics provided an interest and almost all divisions organized a team for play when the hard-pressed Fleet Activi- ties gym in Yokosuka was available. Utiliz- ing noon hours and liberty time, a double elimination tournament was run off with the 4th division winning the Hrst round and the H1777 the second. In the championship game the fire controlmen came out on top.

After fine liberties there and at nearby Kyoto, ancient capital of Japan, the ship re- turned to Yokosuka in time for the visit of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We were nearing the halfway point already-next stop Guam and the Philippines. In EBVIY Jan'-IBFY. CGPT- Al'i50l'1 WHS relieved The Joinl Chiefs of Staff: Gen. Omar Bradley, Gen. J.

The ship turned to with a will to avoid being too lonesome when Christmas time rolled around. Decorations sprang up all over the ship, from the wardroom to the mess halls and living compartments. It wasn't quite a white Christmas, but the crisp, cold air lent a real holiday atmosphere to the season. There was carol-singing on the fantail on Christmas Eve, and Lt. R. W. Kurz, play- ing Santa Claus for the third straight year aboard TOLEDO, handed out presents to over 200 men. The traditional turkey dinner was served on the 25th. Parties at all the local clubs rounded out the festivities. Church services were held Christmas Eve, and again on Christmas morning. Many men were able to squeeze their calls to the US. into the tight schedule at the exchanges in Yokohama and Tokyo, and most of the con- nections were good. Traveling to these cities was by no means limited to those making phone calls--every Army and Air Force ac- tivity had parties of some kind, and local clubs throughout the area made the season a continuous round of fun. Wfe wanted to be home, but this being impossible, we had a grand time where we were. TOLEDO men were hosts to fifty Japa- nese orphan children on Christmas Day. The tikes, from Yokosuka orphanges, were treated to dinner and a movie, each child guided by two bluejackets. The language barrier was forgotten in the genuine fun of this event. One of the biggest events of the holiday season, as fas as Tokyo was concerned, was the colorful and well-executed Christmas Parade, which many TOLEDO oflicers and men were able to witness. Floats from many service activities and units, lavishly dec- orated in the manner of the 'Tournament of Roses or ulfiose Festivalf' portrayed the Christmas story and many family aspects of the gay season. Featured in the parade were several Santas, all apparently duly author- ized representatives of Saint Nick himself, many Japanese girls, and a few Army wives, present to assist Santa in his air operations from an Air Force fighter plane. The Tokyo children, and grownups, too, loved the dis- play, and we observed on every hand the way that our own customs of Christmas were being copied and enjoyed by the Japanese. Aboard the TOLEDO, Captain Arison, in a very impressive ceremony on the main deck, presented scholarships for a yearis study to Japanese school children of the Yokosuka area considered deserving of them. The money for these scholarships had been contributed by men of the ship during the preceding weeks. Needless to say, the gratitude of those receiving the awards was very evident. All hands felt that a positive step toward greater understanding and friendship with the Japanese people had been made by the ship. New Year's saw the end of the spiral of celebrations that marked the holidays. uOpen Housesv at the Officers, CPO and PO, and EM Clubs were big successes. The new year of 1950 having been ofiicially welcomed aboard, all hands looked forward to the third cruise from Yokosuka, this one to Osaka, Kobe and a chance to visit famed Kyoto. After barely enough cruising time to sound General Quarters, followed by Air Defense. darken ship. and 0011111101100 the fourth drill period, TOLEDO arrived in Osaka 011 a brisk morning, ready in all re- spects to have a liberty i11 the famed G'Venicc of the Orient, and one of the major .lapa- nese seaports and industrial centers of the recent war. Mooring to a pier which seemed to be a number of 111iles from town, the ship was soon being boarded by the usual group of Army visitors, ready to turn over all the available information on local recreation and entertain.ment, sports facilities, trans- portation, and out-of-bounds areas. This in- formation was immediately broadcast over the ship's announcing system and, at least in theory, every man leaving the ship knew exactly where to go-and where not to go. The canals provided novel snapshot sub- jects, and the Army clubs, opened to all Navy personnel, solved the problem of what to do after taking the snapshots. The pleas- ant stay was brought to a close four days after arrival when the ship moved to Kobe, a few miles west, the Kobe chapter of the story, a close parallel to the Osaka, then be- gan. At both cities, sightseeing of the bomb damage and of local scenic spots competed with organized Army recreation for our at- tentions. Kyoto, ancient capital of the Empire, lies north of Osaka and Kobe, the three cities forming a triangle on the map. While the ship was in the area, facilities of the resort hotels at Kyoto were used by TOLEDO of- ficers and men-used and enjoyed to the fullest. Travel to Kyoto was by rail, and from Kyoto station, busses and taxis took the leave-takers to the Miyako and Kyoto hotels. Wonderful food, fine accommoda- tions, and perfect leisure were the orders of the day. In the harbors of Osaka and Kobe, as well as those of other ports visited by CA-133, in- spections of Japanese ships took place. As an important part of the duties incident to occupation of the Japanese islands, regular inspections were conducted of the ships, lnspechons of Japanese vessels were part of the routine at each port Sharks 5 ss QS X 5 The countryside near Osaka provided many unusual scenes f , - ,raw The magnificent Heian Shrine af Kyoto Spectators at the Takarazuka Opera near Osaka often brought lunch these boardings were made by regular boarding parties from the TOLEDO, made up of representatives of various depart- ments Who were equipped to carry out a particular part of the check. One of the beauty spots in Kyoto was the Heian Shrine, a tremendous sprawling edi- fice in brilliant orange coloring. Those with color film in their cameras had a golden op- portunity here for one of the prettiest shots of the Orient. Also in Kyoto is the Imperial Palace, of which the Coronation Hall is still used as the place for the coronati'on of the Emperors. Lovely gardens surround the Palace buildings, which are sometimes visited by the Imperial family on cere- monial occasions. The Takarazuka Girls Opera, founded a half century ago by a dance professor, has its main academy near Osaka, and here men from the ship witnessed many start- lingly beautiful operas and more modern presentations. Groups of the organization tour large cities of the islands, including Tokyo, periodically. Also near Osaka lies the quaint, colorful town of Nara, site of the largest buddha in the Empire C500 tonsl, and home of the famous sacred deer, so tame they approach visitors to be fed by hand. The giant bell of Nara can be heard for several miles when struck by a large bell-ringer made of a twenty-foot log. Narais many shrines, parks and pagodas, including the World-famous five-storied pagoda, were visited by many from the ship. With considerable regret, the ship ended a pleasant visit to Osaka, Kobe, side trips to Kyoto and Nara, and returned to Yokosuka for a short pre-7th Fleet stay. One of the lighter spots in life underway was the ulilantail Follies in which men from every department of the ship took the stage for the entertainment of all, turning the ship into a sort of sea-going variety hall for an evening.

Naval units, including sailors and marines from TOLEDO, marched in this parade, and received commendations for a fine performance. fmfagnmenfsh Eng. Bio,-gel MQ, Capt.

SEVENTH Fleet, made TOLEDO his flagship upon departure of RADM Charles C. Hartman, ComCruDiv THREE. The change of command, a double switch between HELENA and TOLEDO, started a new volume of our WesPac story. To- CA-133 came Vice Admiral Berkey, bringing with him his Seventh Fleet staff of nearly a hun- dred officers and men, to HELENA went Rear Admiral Hartman, ready to continue his duties with the Japan forces in a new flagship. Soon after the interchange of flags, off we sailed on 10 February for a two- day stop at A pra Harbor, Guam, sunny southern island of the Marianas group. Here the beaches and pools claimed most of the attention. The harbor that once held battle- wagons, carriers, cruisers, and multitudes of smaller vessels now had to be content with only us. Training and exercising is never easy, and under a tropic sun it was real work. Never- theless, we pitched in to do the job, and by the time the ship steamed by the rocky island bastion of Corregidor at the entrance of Manila Bay, TOLEDO was looking and azcting' like a real man-o-war. For the Qhrst time in years, we moored to a buoy-this one at Sangley Point, our new base, and the liberty lure of Cavite. ,jauthwwwl Bntuwl . . . The Guam stop included swimming, shuffleboard.

There were longing looks toward the sinking coastline as we left. but what dope the other guys put out made Sang- ley Point. Cavite in particular, sound not bad at all. The first night out was one for the books. Weather reports hadn't indicated any typhoons in the vicinity, but from somewhere, murky weather sneaked up and had the ship rolling above twenty degrees, the amount above depending on how much it changed hands before it got to you. There was Air Defense at this time as the Air Force planes from Japan gave us a fond goodbye. This combination produced disastrous results on many stations. Our journey to Sangley was via Guam and while approaching this undesirable tropical rock We were again attacked by land-based planes. This was but a small part of what lay ahead of us. Duty in the Philippines found the carrier BOXER tagging after us with her F8F,s and ADl's, in addition to Air Force Air Defense--the 40's fry for the 'target sleeve. , V Q ' fi ,. .

These, plus more gunnery, C.l.C., damage control, etc., drills than you could shake a man-hour at, gave us the undisputed title uThe most drilled ship in the Pacific Fleetfa By the time We left Guam enroute to Sang- ley Point, the uni'form of the day had changed to undress whites and then to Hwith- out jumpers. The hot weather was hard on everyone, but the sun was something new and very pleasant. As the ship threaded its way up the many islands which make up the Philippines, the many pairs of Japanese binoculars were well checked-out as puffs of smoke and odd looking buildings of nearby islands were given the once over. This was especially true with the looming up of Corregidor on the horizon marking the entrance to Manila Bay. The rock was passed and off in the distance, Sangley Point came into View. The first look consisting of quonsets and an air strip was nothing to rave about, and, in fact, as time went on, the look remained the same and the opinion became Worse. Once outside the gate, however, things be- gan to look up. The first object to meet the eve was the good old :hlll0l'll'ilIl jeep, but Marks and Mods no Bureau had ever desig- l nated. lt appeared that the entire Pacific theater's surplus jeeps had somehow found their way to Cavite and once there, had un- dergone a remarkable transition to becoine known as the jeepney. The canopy which covered the locally-installed seats in the back brought to mind the l'Surrey Wlith the Fringe on Topf' Whether the destination of the jeepney was the Copa, Sherron Cove, 4gBill's Place. the South Seas or any of the other 'tNew York-style night clubs, the ef- fect was the same. Always there was a small, very loud and very brassy band blaring forth slightly off-key, and the flock of host- esses waiting for the sympathetic souls who were to buy them drinks for the evening, at two peso per, one buck in anyone's language. The majority of men were reduced to drink- ing San Miguel, for the liberty in Cavite was quite expensive. Right after pay-day, these places boomed with Tuesday and Fri- day the big nights. Inside the gate at Sangley was the EM. l4Club Orientf, a nice place for a cool drink and chow after a dip in the nearby pool.

Three times during our stay in the Philip- pines, parties left the ship for a tour of Cor- regidor, the famous island guarding the approach to Manila Bay. Each time, coke, beer and sandwiches were taken along to turn the affair into a combined sight-seeing tour and picnic. After a two-hour 30-mile ride across the Bay, the groups tied up to a shell-pocked pier. Once modern and well-kept, it is now a mass of blasted concrete, rotting planks and rusting steel rails on which once ran cranes for unloading cargo. Native shacks made of ammunition cases clustered around the dock area. Cameras were given a workout as men posed beside the simple concrete slab at the end of the dock with the word uCorregidor etched across its face. The beaches to the right and left of the area are lined with rusting land- ing craft and ammunition cases, their con- tents strewn about rusting in the hot tropi- cal sun. V All buildings in the main area topside were crumbling heaps of cement and twisted steel. Gutted walls and huge gaping win- dows remained where modern buildings once stood. Time has laid a concealing hand on all the buildings on the island, for the rapid jungle growth is slowly obliterating the scars of war. Highlight of the trip was the ravaged Battery HD gun emplacement. Formerly a twin 16-inch gun battery guarding the sea approach to Corregidor, the bastion is a desolate, weed-covered area. One of the huge guns remai11s in place, rusting from lack of paint and proper care. Final stop was Malinta Tun11el. It was here the majority of the defenders gathered during the final bitter days of struggle. Then-president of the Philippines Manuel L. Quezon and his family remained here during the seige as did Gen. MacArthur and his family until they were evacuated. Une of the highlights of the Philippines stay was Camp .lohn Hay rest camp at Baguio. Located high in the mountains of central Luzon. the rest camp and nearby city of Baguio is the Shangri-la of the Philippine Islands. Camp John Hay was a heaven after the hot, sun-baked ship in Manila Bay. lts location and high altitude. some 5,800 feet ahove sea level. give it a constant cool tem- perature. Travel to and from the camp was at times unique. Wie took a motor launch from the ship to Manila, a hus from the dock area to the Manila Port of Embarkation where a Greyhound bus took us to Clark Field and a plane for Baguio. The trip was also made by Greyhound bus from Clark, or an open Hsix-hyi' as one unfortunate party had, to the small village at the foot of the mountain on which Baguio is located. Arriving at the vil- lage, we piled into still another bus and finally reached our destination. We checked in at the rest center as if guests at a hotel. No one told us what to do, where to go, what time to report for a work- ing party or what time to get up. In other words-no Navy-we were living! Everyone was always on the go at John Hay. Bowling, tennis, golf, ping-pong, arch- ery, bicycle riding, tours, hiking, swimming and pool kept most every 'cguestn so occu- pied that few went into town. There was one drawback to bicycle riding . . . there were always more hills to climb than to coast down. Jeeps could he checked out to make trips to nearhy places of interest. Food was served cafeteria style at 3.40 per meal, the only cost while at the Camp. Each morning, we were greeted with a cheerful HGood morning, how many eggs do you want and how do you want them cooked ?', This idea was entirely new to TOLEDO person- nel, hut we got used to it quickly. U. S. Naval Station, Subic Bay, was TOLEDO's host twice. Combined operations with the British showed us their seamanship. Back af Sangley, trips fo Manila passed native huts. julie Baa... Joint operations with the British Far East Fleet were good practice, and from the .standpoint of liberty with their Navy at Subic Bay, a lot of fan. The kinks of unfamiliarity were soon ironed out, communica- tion difficulties overcome, and the joint force was operating like a single, sharp outfit. At Subic, ele- ments of the Argyll and Sutherland bagpipe.s .staged a retreat and pipe concert, both novel and entertain- ing for us, most of whom had never seen anything quite like it. Visits were exchanged by crews of the two navies' ships at Subic, a factor which definitely made for closer understanding and cooperation. Just plain Subic, though, still offered very little in the way of recreational facilities, and in the opinion of most, there was a worthwhile feeling behind the wartime favorite, We Won't Go Back to Subic Any- more. Back to Sangley we went and more and more to the hot, humid little area around Cavite. Those who ventured to go to Manila over the land route, brav- ing the dangers of the Huks and bad roads, saw a great deal of the real Philippine countryside. Grass huts like the ones in the geography books were plentiful, and the farmers could be seen guiding ancient water bujalo and caribou along their fur- rowed fields, pulling old upright wooden plows. Rural Philippineana and modern Wlanilag we were seeingltwo opposite sides of a many-sided country. Full-dressed ship for Washingfon's Birthday at Sangley. Xhout a month after arrival in Sanglcy rumors started to circulate amid thc general run of scuttle- butt about a combined exercise with thc British Far Eastern Fleet. For once thc hot dope pcddlcrs had it straight and before long thc ship received a dis- patch confirming it. The operation began with the sortie of Seventh Fleet units from Suhic Bay early one morning which was followed shortly thereafter by a visit from the bird men of Clark Air Force Base. For several days our task group steamed out at Condition III to make contact with the British task group. On the third day patrol aircraft from the Boxer spotted the other force and strikes were launched for the attack while we awaited the British thrust which followed shortly. This accomplished and declared a draw by the respective commanders the ships joined up into one large task force. For the first day or two of this all hands lined the rails to get a look at the HLimey ships, noting the differences in construction and size, and, of course, pausing for a moment or two with curious eye on HMS MAINE, the hospital ship. Both sides were on their guard because of the dif- ferences in operating procedure which existed be- tween the two fleets. However, before long a mutual respect for the ship-handling abilities of the other was gained and everyone relaxed. That is, as much The Scots' dancing rated 4.0.

The big difficulty from then on was trying to un- garble the British accents on the voice radio circuits which at times was a real problem. That weekend all ships streamed into Subic Bay for liberty and recreation. From all of these, boats plied the waters to the beach, crowding the small base with liberty- hungry sailors. The facilities of Subic Bay were expanded in every way possible, but the doors of the three clubs bulged wide as the crowds kept coming. Good fellowship was the keynote, and spirits rose as the spirits went down the hatch. Here we ac- quired an even deeper regard for the British for many a painful ordeal-the day after. A full athletic program was carried out with bowling, swimming, basketball, tennis and softball on the card. Several of our di- visions played softball with the willing but inexperienced Britishers, and from these games deci'ded British cricket must be very different from American baseball. The guests reciprocated by inviting some of our ships' officers aboard their ships for cocktail hour. The merits of the British sys- tem of having liquor aboard ship were Well absorbed.

The unfortunate chief on watch had about as much chance of success as did the liberty boats of getting everyone ashore, but the situation was fin- ally solved with a stream of water from the fire hoses. When all became quiet on the eastern front the merchants were allowed to come aboard, if their credentials were in order, and display their wares. Thus was born the TOLEDO Ginza, and a more apt title Sampans carrying hopeful merchants to the ship. ,740 5' 1 t T X W 4 Y I vo W l K ' 1 f A 1 Q, 3 Q .,, Wg ' 'hx ,. 'Q , . , wtf ,.'??'?m.X..

The variety of merchandise rivaled our own drug stores: woolens, silks, tailoring, shoes, ivory and wood carvings, luggage, tapestries, rugs, paintings, with the artists ready to copy any portrait and, of course, enterprising trades- men with irons and sewing machines to renovate uniforms. To these and similar establishments ashore the crew flocked and each night the ship's draft increased three inches as each new load of loot came aboard. And there was a lot more to do on the beach, too. The British had the place well under control and their clubs were well attended by all.

Tiger Balm Pagoda was also classic as were uThieves Marketf, the floating restau- rants in Aberdeen and the city in general. The basketball team played two games each trip, winning three against good teams whose lack of height was well replaced by speed and accuracy. Cricket was introduced to the ship in several games with the British which were very interesting. ln May We went back to the British Crown Colony again, thi's time with over a hundred airmen and soldiers from Clark AFB. The effect was the same as the first trip except that we seemed to go broke even faster. The grounds were also very scenic. Jim mmm, malt.. From Hong Kong the ship headed north for a brief operation with the ships then stationed in Japanese waters. This again brought the customary condition watches, Air Defense, tactical training, Air Defense, flag hoist drills, Air Defense and then when all of these had been completed a little more Air Defense-'tjust for drill. The exercise finished, the ship dropped the hook for a night off Okinawa. Relax- ing now that the work was temporarily over, there seemed to be an air of excitement around the ship, featuring such remarks as Hlt sure feels good to be going home, Yeah, it won't be long now, and HI can hardly waitf, To an inexperienced observer the obvious thought would have been that the nose of the ship was about to be headed east for a long cruise.

Another change found ashore was that we had arrived right in the middle of the cherry blossom season and it was a lovely sight. lt was a very short week, much too short for most, but operating schedules will be operating schedules and for some reason this one wasn't changed, so we headed back to the blistering heat of Sangley Point. Once underway, we were greeted with our old friend-Air Defense, and lest we forget, the almost as familiar word uNow man all gun- nery and CIC tracking stations for simulated shore bombardmentf' Once again safely moored to the buoy ubearing 015 distant 1800 yards from Sang- ley Point Lightv it was hardly necessary to check the World Almanac to know that this was the Hhot seasonf' The diHerence be- tween the cool and hot seasons is that the latter is unbearably hot, whereas the former is only miserably so. Some weeks before this, divisional softball teams had been organized, and play began in the three leagues. Thus far success hadn't been too great in the fight against the oper- ating schedule, but now play got underway with much vigor. Even the officers collected a team and even more surprising, managed to win a couple of games. When the smoke of the fifty-one game schedule had cleared away, the 6th Division was at the top of the Gunnery Department League with a perfect record, the same being true of the NEW Di- vision in the Engineering. The Marines de- feated the uE,' Division in a play-off to take the title in the third league. ln the final play-otl' series.

They played any and all comers, and while suffering from lack of practice always gave a good account of themselves. For the most of our stay in the Philip- pines competition had been waged hot and heavy aboard ship to see which of the boats was kept in the best condition by its crew. The pot of gold for the winner was widely hailed as the uLost Wleekendf' Finally, after regular weekly inspections, surprise inspec- tions and lllOl'C of both, No. 4 Motor Launch was declared the winner and the crew hap- pily went olf to Baguio.

The antics of the roller-coaster on the Pike had nothing on the motion of some of the motor launches as they tried to make the gangway.

As 20 May approached not even the heat, proposed operations or the coming Nlateriel Inspection could dampen the spirits of the men of the TOLEDO. We were going home. It seemed hard to believe, but became more of a realization each day as no orders were received to the contrary. During this wait- ing period, Admiral Struble came aboard to relieve Admiral Boone and we had gen- eral visiting on Armed Forces Day. T On the 20th, we headed out of Manila Bay for the last time of the cruise, the world had a rosy glow to it. E lation may have dimmed just a little as Air Defense was sounded, but the sight of the sun setting over the fantail was just compensation for whatever might have happened. When the HELENA joined up two days later, Task Force ZEBRA was complete and we steamed on to make war on the westward task force ABLE off Guam. We had the typical 'cout of sight battle and had our first look at carrier jet planes, the F9F's from the VALLEY FORGE. The morning of the 25th we steamed into Guam and even this example of Pacific deso- lation didnit look half bad. The best part came next day when through the break- water came CA-124, the ROCHESTER, our relief. For once the process of bringing a ship alongside was play rather than work, and the transfer of the SEVENTH Fleet staff commenced immediately. The next morning instead of reveille, the bugler gave forth with 'iCalifornia Here I Comei' and we were ready. At noon it was underway again for the next leg, this one to Pearl.
