View of Mount Fuji from Hakone, Japan, Vietnam War-Era Liberty Photograph
This landscape view of Mount Fuji, likely photographed from the Hakone region of Japan, reflects the personal side of a Ticonderoga crew member's Vietnam War-era deployment. U.S. Navy carriers regularly called at the Fleet Activities base in Yokosuka for resupply and repair, giving sailors the opportunity for sightseeing excursions to iconic Japanese landmarks like Mount Fuji before returning to combat operations off Vietnam.
