Japan to alow basing a Nuk carrier there.
On CNN I just saw where an agreement has been reached between the US an
Japan that will allow basing of a Nuke carrier there. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapc....ap/index.html As we are running out of conventional powered carriers, this means we will still be able to have a carrier based there in the future. I wonder how long before they will allow subs, and other nuke powered ships to be based there as well? |

There are no "other nuke-powered ships" in the USN, just the carriers and submarines. -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "Our country, right or wrong.

This would've been the late 70s or early 80s.. -- -Jeff B. zoomie at fastmail fm |

I had to go through survival school at NTA! Again! I always got caught up in those quota filling deals, I guess someone wanted to make sure I was one finely tuned and trained warrior. BTW the rain was warmer at survival school in the Philippines I know when they took off and passed over NTA it looked like there were still struggling to get up to 1000 feet. They were so low I kept expecting them to blow over the shelter I was trying to make with my parachute. It would be two or three B-52's then a KC-135 trying to catch up, to be repeated about every ten minutes until you couldn't stand it anymore. I don't remember anyone protesting them being there. But then again about the only thing we were ever told was what a bunch of dumb asses we were, that we needed to pay attention, or we wouldn't make it when we went back south and got shot down. |

And I didn't approve of getting rid of the Virginia class at all. |

First time I know of was July 1965. Then the incident I'm thinking of was probably the early 80s. The communist in the country were acting up and promoting more anti-American events than ever before. World-wide the anti-nuke movement was big so I can see many Japanese people getting outraged at the B-52s around then. -- -Jeff B. (who spent 19 months at Misawa) zoomie at fastmail dot fm |
