Thanks for posting this. My dad was off shore on a pocket carrier(can’t recall which one), and as he was a 1st class aviation mechinist mate, he came ashore with the seabees to assist with clearing the landing strips. There were stories from my aunt about his possession of the first captured Jap washing machine....dime a load, officers a dollar.
