Jim,
Yes, the street number is the same.  That is almost always the case even though the street names have changed.

Ann,
Thanks for adding the new street name--I knew that but didn't think of including it when I wrote my first message.  [Perhaps because it was 0045 in the morning and I had just got back to Yokosuka Naval Base after an evening of "yakitori" (chicken on a stick) and beer with two nieces--one 60 and one 40--and the younger one's husband....]    As best as I can tell from Google, the number is still "#9."  I am sure of the spelling because I took it from a 1970 or so MACV map of Saigon and list of streets.  See the attached,  This question comes up so often that I think i'll add both addresses to the AFVNVets.net home page.
Now to pack and head back to Osaka.
