As the war was coming to an end, the men of BON HOMME RICHARD had to remain ready. For all intents and purposes the war was over, yet Task Force 38 had to maintain a constant vigil against any Japanese treachery. Admiral Halsey ordered BON HOMME RICHARD to Area McCain, 100 to 200 miles southeast of Tokyo, where she maintained her normal wartime air patrols. For over an hour on the 16th and 17th of .Vugust the ships of TF38 maneuvered in abnormally tight formations for aerial photographs to be taken of sprawling Fast Carrier Task Force. On the twenty-second and twenty-third the planes massed overhead for photos. On the nineteenth Admiral Ballentine, Commander Task Force 38, hauled down his flag and reported to Guam as Nimitz ' s liaison officer to General MacArthur for the Japanese surrender, officially set for 2 September in Tokyo Bay.
