This color slide, part of a collection of USS Ticonderoga Vietnam-era photographs, moves away from the flight deck to document everyday life ashore: a street scene in what is almost certainly Yokosuka, Japan, the storied U.S. Navy liberty port near Tokyo. Storefronts advertising foreign and American cars alongside Japanese businesses reflect the close, decades-long relationship between the U.S. Navy and this Japanese port city, which served as a critical logistics and recreation hub for carriers like Ticonderoga throughout their Western Pacific deployments during the Vietnam War.
