The buildings in the center of the picture were used as bachelor enlisted quarters when I was stationed on the USS Midway at Yokosuka. 1974-77

This is a 35 mm snapshot taken by Lt. Clayton J. Campbell, navigator on plane 13. It was taken from the right navigators window. It is the third of four pictures taken on the flight. The original has two rows of smudges across the top that are anti aircraft fire from the ships in the bay.
