The impact of the U.S. federal government shutdown that began this week has reverberated across the Pacific, forcing Yokosuka, a city near Tokyo that hosts the U.S. 7th fleet, to cancel a fireworks event planned for the weekend. The municipal government said Thursday that it was no longer able to secure a spectators' gallery for the fireworks because a related "open base" event at the Yokosuka base was called off amid the government shutdown. The U.S. Navy base has been one of the venues for members of the public to see the annual fireworks display for years. The city was expecting that half of the roughly 190,000 spectators it had hoped to attract this year would view the event from the base. In Okinawa, a U.S. Marine Corps event billed the Futenma Flight Line Fair has been canceled.
