-ful 1 five officers and twenty four men from BUNKER HILL.U ' AULT'escorted the BUNKER HILL to the replenishment group, rejoining the force in time for the next strike against Kyushu on the 13th. The next day was a hectic one also. ENTERPRISE was damaged hy a suicider, and many Japs got in close that day, AULT's guns accounting for three of them. It was the last bad day for awhile. On 22nd of May Captain W.D. Brown, United States Navy, relieved Com- modore Higgins ae Commander Destroyer Squadron SIXTY-TWO on this vessel, the latter became Commander Task Flotilla THREE, remaining aboard AULT until we again reached port. We'laughed at the Japs on the 25th, when ten groups of theirwsuiciders .were seen airborne and on the prowl for us but couldn't find usg we were ..more relieved than amused when the last of them headed away from us, having failed even to sight any of our ships. The story of that day might easily E have been sadly different.

Captain Brown transferred his flag to the ENGLISH, Commodore Higgins left the AUII also, having beenaboard since commissioning, and Rear A miral Began re- lieved Rear Admiral herman as Task Group Commander. V ' we had been at s a for 80 days, and the month we were allowed for avail- ability and training was none too much to get in shape for the next operation which began when we set out again on the first of July heading directly for 'Tbkyb. On this operation we roamed boldly up and down the Japanese coastline N we , . I -8- , a , A ,Ah 1 is-f ,Q ' 1' s 2-. ,V 'iq til, , N, are 'am M mx 'gnf ,, . 9
