Enclosed is a photo of Yokosuka, Japan. On the back of the original photo, there was a hand-written (in pencil) date of 1960, but I think it was a little earlier than that, by the cars in the picture. I don't know for sure which boats these are, since there are no hun numbers, but there is a possibility that the one in the middle is the Diodon.

Regardless of that, this picture has always been special to me, because this was the first time I laid eyes on Diodon. She was moored inboard at this very spot. And so my adventure began!!!

If you should ever want a bigger picture, I have a CD formatted for 20" x 24" , although the details are not as sharp.
