Yokosuka mayor to visit U.S. to oppose nuke carrier
Yokosuka Mayor Ryoichi Kabaya will leave for the United States Tuesday to directly ask the U.S. government to abandon a decision to station a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in a U.S. naval base in the city.

Kabaya will visit U.S. Navy Secretary Gordon England on Wednesday in Washington. He will ask England to abandon the plan to station a nuclear-powered carrier in Japan on the ground that the Japanese public have a strong antinuclear sentiments because of the experience of atomic-bomb attacks during World War II, the mayor said earlier.
Methinks it's not so much the 'nuclear' (Yokosuka gets its electricity from a nuke plant) as it is the 'aircraft carrier'.
