Sailed on the Phoenix from San Diego on 9OCT1954 to Osaka,
Japan to join the ATco/1/4 at Nara, Japan. There were about
1500+ Marines on board, going to Japan or Korea. I remeember
at least a two week trip and it became cold as we went the
northern route. Lots of sea sick Marines 2 days out of
SD.Most men spendt all of the trip on the weather deck.
