The listing, US Navy "White Beach" Zippo Style Lighter Cigar or Cigarette has ended.
Commemorating the US Navy White Beach Naval Facility, Okinawa, Japan this is a very nice Zippo style (not Zippo brand) lighter for your collection.
The White Beach Naval Facility is a staging area for Marines and their equipment based on Okinawa. This departure point allows utility landing craft and air-cushioned landing vehicles to ferry troops, vehicles and equipment to amphibious ships pier side or at sea.
The headquarters for Commander, Amphibious Group ONE, is based out of White Beach, Okinawa, Japan. The command also maintains a separate, smaller staff group, under the guidance of the Deputy Commander, based out of Sasebo in the southern portion of the island of Kyushu. Commander, Amphibious Group ONE (CPG-1) is responsible for conducting expeditionary warfare operations to support a full range of theater contingencies. CPG-1 also provides oversight for the operations and planning, personnel, maintenance, logistics, training, and communications of units forward deployed to Sasebo, Japan. Being the Navy’s only forward deployed amphibious assault warship, plying the waters between it’s homeport of Sasebo, Japan and White Beach, Okinawa is a common and fairly ordinary event for USS Belleau Wood’s crew.
