Summary edit
| Description | View of the Yokosuka Naval Base, Japan, circa in September 1945. the U.S. Navy submarine tender USS Proteus (AS-19) is visible below the large crane. Assigned to occupation duty after the end of the war, Proteus rendezvoused with units of the U.S. 3rd Fleet and became the flagship of a 26-ship support group which steamed off the coast of Honshū until 26 August. On the 28th she anchored in Sagami Wan to begin supporting Submarine Squadron 20 as it demilitarized surrendered Japanese submarines, human torpedoes, torpedo carrying boats, and suicide boats at Yokosuka and other locations in the Sagami Wan-Tokyo Bay areas. Also assigned to repair Japanese submarines, she remained until 1 November 1945, when she headed home. |
