Those are the main ones. LA had a presence but BRAC closed it long ago.
It's mostly now a shipping spot for cars.

Lets add: Bremerton Washington, Corpus Christi TX, Groton CT, Yokosuka
and Sasebo Japan, Okinawa (White beach), Sigonella, Bahrain.

WE have significant footprints elsewhere but those probably are the
notable ones. Oh and for Norfolk, it's multiple locations but for
ships, primarily Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Newport News with a
smaller shipyard in Portsmouth.

Japanese in WWII took Korean women back and put them in whore houses,
sadly. The shame will take time to recover.

They were pretty nasty through out Asia. In China they slaughtered
300,000 civilians in Nanking alone. They used about 50,000 POWs for
slave labour and the death rate was about 20%. Then there were about
300,000 south Asian forced labourers and their death rate was as high as
50%.

Thank you but I doubt I will get around to it)

Today I am dealing with a load of onions so I can cook, 'sliders' I
read I can cook them in the slow cooker and store them. Sounds like a
useful prep method)

Bruce's one-sided history. The Mongol invasions of Japan (元寇, Genk�), took place in 1274 and 1281, were major military efforts undertaken by Kublai Khan of the Yuan dynasty to conquer the Japanese archipelago after the submission of the Korean kingdom of Goryeo to vassaldom."

In the Norfolk, VB area all are still separate bases.
Fort Story - army base
Many Navy bases.
Air Force base is close but not here.

And I lived in Newport RI (1970-71). Home of the Naval War College. They
had several ships there but no carriers. I've heard they've downsized
that base since I lived there.

All morals go to hell during a war. Some of the Jap military should
have been tried for war crimes but I guess we didn't do that because we
nuked two of their cities to end the war.

As a whole, I admire the Japanese people and their traditions.

They are still there but I think there are no ships anymore. It's more
of a training base now.
