Its a good thing that I never got seasick. Those ships were made of wood and fiberglass so they wouldnt set off the mines. But with a wood boat it got tossed around in the smallest of waves and only had a crew of around 85.

I was an Army Brat for 18 years and retired from the Marine Corps in 2000. Was stationed on Mount Fuji for 4 months. Wish I had a good camera then.

My good Canadian friend, Jacques "Jacko" Doucette suggested join in this forum.
My service was United States Navy in WWll in the Pacific. My ship was a destroyer, USS Morris DD417, which was badly damaged by a Japanese kamikaze suicide attack on 06 April 1945 off Okinawa. After release from the Naval hospital I ended the war with the ship in drydock in San Francisco, California.
Thank you OneSweetSin for your song. There are lots of us who feel that way.
