3.9 out of 5 stars 19 ratings
This funny story follows three young sailors off the USS Enterprise as they come ashore in Sasebo, Japan and are greeted by thousands of anti-nuclear protesters. After weeks at sea, the sailors only want an exotic meal and a cold beer, but this port visit turns into a reckoning with history after they meet some friendly locals and find themselves Making Peace with Japan. This is one of the short stories in The Sea Adventure Collection, by Malcolm Torres. These stories are often free on Amazon, and they can be read in any order.

    What most people do not understand is that sea stories are not actually "stories" in that they really are factual. Having been stationed with another reviewer of this book (Robert Caldwell, who was the medical officer aboard the USS Mars at the time) just a few years previously to Malcolm's port call in 1983, I can completely relate to what he wrote.

    The first time I reported aboard the Mars in Sasebo in 1975 I also was only 19 years of age. A veteran back home who had been stationed in Japan in the 60's told me about Absinthe (referenced in Malcolm's book). So one of the first things I did after arriving in Sasebo was to purchase my personal bottle of Absinthe (in the Ginza most likely). Potent stuff.

    1975 was also the 30th anniversary of the bombing of Nagaski, which was maybe 30 miles away. All military personnel were restricted to the base at that time, which I view as a wise decision. But it was a weird time nevertheless.

    Great book, shipmate!

    Stationed on USS Mars 75-76 before she went back to CONUS. Loved Sasebo, especially an older woman at the Westerner, but alas was not to be. Good narrative, few typos, and plausible plot line. Well done I have read his other 'Sea Adventure' stories and recommend them.

    I greatly enjoyed this and despite being the navy for 6 years I never made it to the far east.

    All of Malcolm's Books are keepers.
