Taken over by the Japanese Navy in 1941, she was converted to a hospital ship and employed in that role during World War II.

Maj Windsor,
Do you remember me from the 55th Quartermaster in 1960?

Hello
I boarded The Takasago Maru on Jan9, 1950 at Sasebo, Japan & disembarked in Pusan, Korea on Jan 10, 1950.
It had been stripped of nearly everything but several of us bunked in a room with 4 0r so Box type bunks with wood-straw mattresses?
We exited the ship from a large square door in the lower side of the ship & climbed up Pier Pileings to the dock. (See my account on KWE web site in my memoirs For Jack W Windsor, USMC.)
