Visit By CNO To Republic of Korea
Silverstein entered Yokosuka on 27 June and remained until 15 July. From there she sailed, via Sasebo, to Chinhae, Korea. At Chinhae, the Republic of Korea's principal naval base, she was visited by the Chief of Naval Operations of the Republic of Korea (ROK) and trained with several ROK Navy ships. By 5 August, she had moved south to the Republic of the Philippines and trained sailors from that nation's navy until the 19th. Returning to Japan via Hong Kong, she made Yokosuka on 30 August and Kobe on 1 September. She put to sea again on 4 September to evade a typhoon and entered Yokosuka again on the 5th.

“If you visit your friend, why need you apologize for not having visited him, and waste his time and deface your own act? Visit him now.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.”
