GUAM

Enroute from Australia to Japan, the ship made a fueling stop here at Guam, Marianas Islands. We were here overnight, so a few people got ashore to see what little there was. For one of the men, however, it was an important stop. Charles Taijeron, SD1, was able to visit his parents.

JAPAN

Japan always sounds like "home" after two or three cruises to the far east.

Whether it's the bustling town of Yokosuka, located on the southern end of Tokyo Bay or Nagoya, sprawled on the flat land of southern Honshu, Japan promises good liberty to the shutterbug, gig-buyer, traveler, and fun-lover. "The best liberty ports in the fart east" (not necessarily the opinion of all Navy men) flash their souvenirs, American style music and Number One dancing girlsans.

Whether you find exactly what you want after a few tours of Japan, or not, the natives present the oppourtunity to shop, sightsee, and relax to your heart's content.

And whether these towns of wooden ships and screaming taxi-cabs impressed you favorably or not, it will take a long tour in the United States to make you forget the noise, life and fun of Japan.
