Al Southwick
World War II ended at different times for different servicemen. The fighting ended in Europe in May and June, 1945. But we in the Pacific theater had to wait a bit. Our squadron of heavy bombers had only recently arrived at Shemya Island in the far western Aleutian island chain. Until a few weeks before, I had been doing anti-submarine patrol out of Jacksonville, Florida.
On Aug. 14, 1945, our PB4Y-2 patrol bomber, loaded with 500 pound bombs, took off from Shemya and headed for the big Japanese naval base at Paramushiro, 800 miles south west. That was days after the dropping of the two atomic bombs on Japan, and peace rumors were churning the airways. But we were still flying our bombing runs as scheduled and providing air cover for the North Pacific fleet. The aircraft carriers had all been ordered south in preparation for the invasion of Japan. ....

Or he can head east across the Pacific Ocean, through the Panama Canal and up along the East Coast to New York.
Millions of dollars are at stake. ....

The skipper of a container ship from Shanghai headed for New York has a choice:
He can turn south and west across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal and across the Atlantic to New York.

Millions of dollars are at stake.
Those two famed waterways adequately served the shipping trade for more than a century. But about 10 years ago they became choke points because the new mammoth container ships and cruise ships were too big to traverse them, or had long waits in carefully making their way through the canals. The original Panama Canal locks are 110-feet wide. Ship manufacturers for years had to design their craft accordingly. The warships of the U.S. Navy were also so limited. ....
