At random: The first Japanese prisoner of war captured by the Americans was Kazuo Sakamaki, an ensign in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was captured on the morning of December 7, 1941. Sakamaki had set an explosive charge to destroy his disabled submarine, which had been trapped on Waimanalo Beach. When the explosives failed to go off, he swam to the bottom of the submarine to investigate the cause of the failure and became unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Sakamaki was found by a Hawaiian soldier, David Akui, and was taken into military custody. When he awoke, he found himself in a hospital under American armed guard. After the war he returned to Japan and found work with the Toyota Motor Corporation before retiring in 1987. Sakamaki died on November 29, 1999, aged 81.

Does it show what replaced the little Beman's sub bar that use to right next to those barracks? I had heard a Mickie D had, or it was somewhere near there. I watched a few drinking for the dolphin ceremonies there.

I can't imagine having to go all the way to the main Beman's on the other side of the base - who knows maybe in today's Navy sailors don't drink or chase women.

Thanks Ric, can you give me the URL for that? Silver Dolphin Bistro, Harbor Grill, Seawolf Tower - WTF. I think the 25 cent end of the month specials on low selling through the month hard liquors are a thing of the past with hoity toity names like that. Do you know what replaced the tower, if anything?
