The Snapshots in Time Collection
U.S. Navy Sailor at the Great Buddha of Kamakura, Japan — Vietnam War-Era Liberty Call, USS Ticonderoga Collection
A U.S. Navy sailor pauses for a snapshot beneath the Great Buddha of Kamakura during a liberty call in Japan. Photographs like this one, preserved among a Vietnam War-era collection tied to the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga, capture the everyday moments of a sailor's deployment — sightseeing and cultural encounters between long stretches of combat operations in Southeast Asian waters.
