Jan, I cannot tell you how amazing it is to keep watching this thread go. I'm sure that many here agree.
I recently got back from Truk Lagoon, and the Shinkoku Maru was my favorite wreck there. I hope you'll enjoy these photos of her and compare them to what you remember.

Wow, your photos show something I missed with my little dinky strobe which had no chance to catch
the richness of colors there. Thanks for really bring back memories. Truk, my favorite wreck locality...

I'm impressed. A deepwater station in the Tasman Sea. That amazes me. I've been through storms at sea: Atlantic hurricanes, Arctic storms, Pacific typhoons, and even the enduring brutality of the monsoons while patrolling the South China Sea, but some of the worst seas in my memory was the normal weather in the Tasman Sea. I may be oldsalt, but you are saltier.

Jan: I don't intend the hijack this thread but the picture of the Japanese pilots remind me of a personal experience. While on R&R in Japan during the Vietnam war, I met a Japanese man who had trained as a Kamikaze pilot , but the war ended before he flew a mission. I thought at the time, "How bizarre that I am having a meal and civil conversation with a man who was doing everything he could to kill my father a generation ago." I wondered if my yet unborn son would someday have the same experience with a veteran of the North Vietnamese military. In fact it has. I don't regret my service, but I hold the hope that humankind can find a better way than war to solve things. I love both of your threads and look forward to getting together someday to hear more stories.
Thanks, Curt

Wind and rain is pummeling Whidbey and keeps me from diving right now.
It is time to add some pages to the Memory Lane ...
When I landed back in San Diego, I found that while I was gone,
bigger helicopter was added to our fleet ...
