-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Essex latest U.S. warship to put to sea from Japan SASEBO, Nagasaki Pref. (Kyodo) The U.S. amphibious assault ship Essex left the U.S. naval base in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, on Saturday morning for an undisclosed destination. The departure of the 40,532-ton Essex follows the U.S. aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk's departure from its home port of Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, on Friday morning, also for an undisclosed destination. On Thursday, the Essex left the U.S. military's special quay after loading ammunition and other supplies in preparation for its departure. After stopping at the Yokosuka base, the Essex is expected to head for the Indian Ocean to participate in the anticipated retaliatory measures against terrorists for the Sept. 11 attacks on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon outside Washington. The 2,950-ton Haruyuki, a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer, patrolled the sea off the Sasebo base along with two helicopters, effectively escorting the amphibious assault ship. Similar procedures were followed for the departure of the 81,123-ton Kitty Hawk. The Essex is carrying three hovercraft-type landing crafts. Large containers and wooden crates were also loaded aboard the ship, while two large transport helicopters landed on the Essex shortly before its departure. The U.S. Navy's 6,080-ton nuclear-powered submarine Bremerton is expected to leave Sasebo port on Saturday evening. $10 million donation NEW YORK (Kyodo) Parliamentary Foreign Secretary Taimei Yamaguchi, currently in the United States, told representatives of New York City and New York State that Japan will provide $10 million to the relief funds established after last week's terrorist attacks. Japan will give $5 million to New York State's World Trade Center Relief Fund and a similar amount to New York City's Twin Towers Fund as a "token of sympathy" to the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. At the New York City Council, Yamaguchi said the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington were not only an attack on the U.S. but a challenge to the international community as a whole. As an ally, Japan strongly supports and will spare no effort in cooperating with the U.S., he said. Yamaguchi also said that money is not a substitute for a life, but that he hopes it will help the families of the victims and New Yorkers. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
