In this Sept. 12, 1951 photo provided by the U.S. Navy, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, left, shakes hands with Adm. Arthur Radford, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, at Radford's headquarters overlooking Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Yoshida made the stop in Hawaii as he was traveling back to Japan from the San Francisco conference that restored Japan's sovereignty. Yoshida is best remembered for signing the San Francisco peace treaty with the U.S. and others in 1951, allowing Japan back into international society after its war defeat. His Pearl Harbor visit, which he made on his way home from San Francisco, was largely eclipsed by the historic treaty. (U.S. Navy via AP)
