 Sailors from the United States Navy and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force competed in volleyball, tug-a-war, and soccer for the first ever Sasebo Sailors' Koryu Captain's Cup. At the end, the winner was announced, JMSDF. We had a presentation of the trophy and also we decided to have some barbecue and cookout. JMSDF Force has been really, really supportive of this and they really enjoyed everything they did and I thank them a lot. We are building a really, really close relationship with them and that's really, really wonderful. Thanks to the Koryu program, Japanese and American Sasebo Sailors strengthened local and international relationships. Petty Officer Christina Coffey, Fleet Activities, Sasebo, Japan.
