Aden, is a city in Yemen
Aden's ancient, natural harbour lies in the crater of an extinct volcano which now forms a peninsula, joined to the mainland by a low isthmus. This harbour, Front Bay, was first used by the ancient Kingdom of Awsan between the 5th and 7th centuries BC. The modern harbour is on the other side of the peninsula. Aden now has a population of about 800,000 people.
Back in the early 60's I was aboard the USS Essex Aircraft Carrier. During that time I flew in and out of Aden for mail and cargo, aboard the ships cargo plane. During this period Aden was still under British Rule, known then as Aden BCC.
