He entered the Naval Academy in 1906: progressing to the grade of Admiral in September, 1946. Designated as Naval Aviator No. 33 in 1916, he participated in catapult experiments aboard the USS HUNTINGTON in 1917. and served as an aviator for 2 years aboard USS SARATOGA the first ship launched as an aircraft carrier. MITSCHER gained fame as Commanding Officer of the USS HORNET when that ship carried General J. A. DOOLITTLE's raiders to within striking distance of Tokyo in 1942. In March 1944, he assumed command of Task Force 58. At the close of the first battle of the Philippine Sea, TF 58 aircraft were returning from an airstrike, dangerously low on fuel. Weighing the dangers of lurking Japanese submarines against the plight of his own pilots, Admiral MITSCHER issued his now famous order to his darkened ships, Turn on the lights! In July, 1945, he became Deputy CNO for Air. He served as Commander, EIGHTH FLEET until assuming command of U.S. Atlantic Fleet in September 1946. He served in this post until his death in 1947.

KINNEBREW Although this is a return to your ship for COMDESRON TWO, it is a first for me personally. It means a lot to me because I can remember. in Newport in the mid-50's, and in Charleston in the early 6O's, looking at MITSCHER from a small boy Ca 315 ft. DEQ and dreaming about being in a grand ship such as those beautiful. impressive DL's. . . I really walked around MITSCHER and saw your unique ship: the way she rides, handles, and berths you. I enjoy all this room and comfort. . . , I also am pleased to write to two former CO's of MITSCHER. Captain Scott and Captain Paramoor. and tell them of my accomplishment and distinction: fly my pennant aboard MITSCHER, and call myself a MITSCHERMANN --. ..,..g,4 ,N : aww..-5 DEPARTMENT HEADS WEAPONS LT.
