Holy smokes, man! Thats a ton of pics, my brain is fried.....
But, I got to spend some time there back in 97-98ish for the 25th anniversery of the japanese maritime safety association...now the japanese coast guard.
Good times and great culture...One of the officers said to me...american coast guard is so diciplined, you dont drink or smoke on the ship....I laughed and said its cause we cant!
This is while we were enjoying sake and marleoboro's on the messdeck.
Thank you for sharing the pics...It brought back a lot of fantastic memories:thumbup:
