World War Two / Naval Mystery
« on: Thursday 13 August 15 15:47 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
With the VJ anniversary falling at this time - I've remembered a family member telling of his visit to Yokohama and the sites of the destruction at Hiroshima & Nagasaki Christmas 1945.
I've been attempting some research but failing as I cannot trace his ship The HMS Maidstone being in the area at that time.
Can anyone confirm where the Maidstone was Christmas 1945 and if any other Royal Navy Vessels
would have been near the site of the atom bomb explosions at that time.
Any help would be appreciated.
