30- _____ We stood in port today _ I had recreation _ its really a small place the island where we went for recreation _ its one of the islands we pass in coming in here, we often use to strafe it when we use to go back to Point Bowlow. The island still hasnt been cleared of all mines _ two fellows were killed over there a few days ago. The BB New Jersey & two large Carriers came in today also one heavy C. Portland______________
Joe may have meant Keise Island, which is between Point Bowlow and the Kerama anchorage. Photo shows the guns on Keise after the American took it in April 1945.
Editor Note: Odd place to send sailors for recreation. Unless they were trying to cull the stupid ones out of the herd.
