U.S. warship visits Nagasaki, stirs antinuke protests

NAGASAKI, Japan - The 3,282-ton U.S. rescue ship Safeguard, stationed at the U.S. Navy's Sasebo base in Nagasaki Prefecture, calls at a port in the neighboring city of Nagasaki, western Japan, on Sept. 17 for a three-day goodwill visit. The visit, however, triggered protests by antinuclear and labor union groups.
