Captain K,
That would put the current CFS2 Yokosuka NAS and seaplane base in just about the right spot.

Talon did a GSL rendition of Kure, it might be of use as a starting point

U.T.,
Yes, I have that one installed already. Looking at modifying it a bit to look more like the photos.

Nice pics Capt-K!
Thanks for taking the time.
Using the top down views and GoogleEarth I can pinpoint from where two of them were taken. However, wrt the one with the caption, I can't pinpoint a location on the top down views or in GoogleEarth that would yield such a perspective.
BTW whats your impression of those three islet-appearing things in the distance? Islets or LSDs? I am inclined to LSDs myself.
Cheers,
MR
They look like LST's to me.

Hmmm,,, yeah, I guess so at least maybe the one on the right. The other two look more like LSDs...don't they?
MR
Roger that. Yeah the two on the left do have an LSD profile.

Okay, Captain Kurt,
Belay my bit about not being able to figure where the one shot was taken. You probably already had this figured but were being tactfully silent about it. ;^)
The caption appears to be right in so far as the photo was indeed taken from the air station.
However, it was mistaken as to what was shown in the background.
It isn't Tokyo Bay. Toky Bay is pretty much behind the photographer.
It's Yokosuka harbor, at least the west end of it anyway- see third photo below.
I highlighted the angle of view in the following 3 pics.
Phew! Glad I can finally quit sweating that issue. I always have a tendency to sweat the small stuff!
