SAN JACINTO nosed her way past BlSHOP'S POINT and set course for the newly-conquered MARSHALL ISLANDS. It was the opening paragraph of a saga that will live in the annals of naval warfare. She was to write a record in the heart-blood of JAPAN across sixteen flaming months and seven major campaigns. She was to destroy br damage 712 Japanese aircraft, sink or damage six aircraft carriers, two battleships, four cruisers, ten-destroyers and 200,- 000 tons of auxiliaries, merchant ships and small craft, expend with telling effects 980 tons of bombs, 5,436 rockets, 42 tor- pedoes, millions of rounds of .50 caliber machine gun bullets, fly 11,120 sorties, steam 153,000 combat miles, spend 471 days in combat. 1 ' She was to earn the singulardistinction of engaging and sinking her exact Jap counterpart, the light carrier ZUIHO, in the second battle of the Philippine Sea. She was to be sub- jected to incessant and vicious attack by enemy aircraft, once bracketed bow and stern by torpedoes, three times missed by less than a plane's length of flaming suiciders, each time saved only by skillful emergency maneuvering and the courage and skill of ,her gunnersa She was to destroy more attacking enemy aircraft, shooting down twelve with her guns and assisting in shooting down- eight others, than any of her class sisters. I She was to recover the aircraft of and furnish fighting pro- tection to stricken colleagues. She was to have the humorous experience of waving off a bewildered Jap pilot who tried to land aboard during the night recoveries of the First Battle of the Philippine Sea. She was to endure the raging of two moun- tainous typhoons, the buffeting of numerous lesser storms. She was not to escape unscathed, but the price shepaid for her accomplishment was small and more heavily reckoned in the willing sweat of her gallant crew than in blood and tears. She was to earn and wear in honor the respectful sobriquet of The Little Queen, first bestowed by one of her famous big sisters, accepted with prideful love by her crew. Late in her combat career the daring and accomplishments of her Ai'r Group earned for her the name of The Little Giant. From her gaff under the Stars and Stripes she flew in battle the Lone Star Flag of TEXAS, in tribute to her name and to the citizens who subscribed to her cost. This 'is the story of how the SAN JACINTO got its name. Xvhen the old Cruiser HOUSTON was lost off JAVA in 1942 the citizens of HOUSTON, TEXAS, had a bond-purchasing campaign to raise the money to pay for a new cruiser HOUS- TON. When the campaign ended enough bonds had been sold not only to pay fora cruiser but there was sufficient left over to pay for a Light Aircraft Carrier. In recognition of their patriotic spirit the Navy and Treasury Department asked the people of HOUSTON to name the carrier. They gave it the name of SAN JACINTO, which commemorates the decisive battle of that name in TEXAS' struggle for independence from MEXICO. And so it was that she was to provide the only case on record where a major unit of the Fleet began her first combat mission six months to the day after she was commissioned and remained without interruption in combat for the duration of the war, a matter of some sixteen months. She was to prove herself indeed a worthy member of the proud sorority of the Navy's Fighting Ladies. E 1 Occasionally we dressed up for inspection. '7 ,vnu .,,. .

MOORE, USNJ, when two enemy aircraft were shot down over TINIAN. Though we had previously suffered operational losses, our first combat loss came on 12 June, when Ensign R. D. Mc- ILWANE'S Hellcat fighter was shot down by anti-aircraft fire and crashed before the pilot could get clear. 'Impressive and solemn memorial services were held aboard ship the next day, Chaplain CORDES officiating. So far as is known, Ensign McILWANElwas the first American pilot tolose his life on SAIPAN in the MARIANAS Campaign. Pre-invasion pounding continued through the 14th. On the 15th, we supported the initial landing of our troops. On this day Ensign S. P. BUTCHART, USNR, landed the 2000th plane aboard. At dusk on 15 June, our Task 'Group was subjected to intensive attack by a large group of enemy aircraft. A SAN JACINTO Combat Air Patrol was airborne at the time and shot down seven Jap planes, probably destroying two more. Eight other planes broke through the screen and made a deter- mined torpedo attack, concentrating on the large carriers. All eight were shot down by anti-aircraftrfire, most of them within the screen. This attack was noteworthy for the manner in which it was pressed home, some enemy aircraft getting within one hundred yards of our major units before crashing. SAN JACINTO guns shot down one plane and assisted in shooting down one other. One man receivedga slight bullet wound. This ship received no damage. It was the first action for the ship and came six months to the day after our commissioning ceremonies. Beauty has no place in total war but more than one remark was passed that night on how luridly beautiful the confused pattern of cherry- red tracers, mushrooming puffs of black fiak, and Hamilng orange-yellow brilliance of the exploding bombers stood out against the backdrop of grey ships of war and the gorgeous colors of the sunset. Operations in support of the landings on SAIPAN continued until l7 June, at which time .the Task Force steamed westward in the hope of engaging the main body of the Japanese fleet, reported: moving eastward in Philippine waters. On 19 June occurred the famous turkey shoot, when upwards of four hundred Japanese Fleet aircraft attacked Task Force FIFTY- EIGHT. The attack was broken up at terrific cost to the enemy. nearly all of his planes being shot down. Our airborne fighters destroyed seven Jap planes and assisted in the destruc- tion of four others. A few enemy planes did get past our air- craft and attackedithe force. SAN JACINTO guns brought down one of the six which attacked our Task Group. No dam- age was incurred by the ship, -although one of our fighters. piloted by Ensign T. E. HALLOWELL, was lost in combat. His body was subsequently found on GUAM by our invading forces and interred there. Memorial services were conducted aboard ship by Chaplain CORDES. A On 20 June the Task Force steamed steadily VVest to attempt J . gf- - -it-A.--,-,-.-. ..-h,- cc-.-.-.W-,--.-,..c..a.,a.,..g,. ... -. v-,.....-.-.N-.-G .. .Q -..... .. .. 1 to close the Japanese units. The distance was so great it became apparent that they would escape if not attacked immediately, so a long-range strike was ordered launched in mid-afternoon. SAN JACINTO torpedo planes participated in the attack. sinking a large destroyer and damaging a HIYATAKA class carrier. For this feat, Lieutenant Commander D. MELVIN, USNR3 and Ensign O. GUY, USNR, were later awarded the NAVY CROSS. The extreme range made it well after dark before the strike returned. with all aircraft dangerously short of gasoline. Searchlights were turned on and aircraft ordered to land on the first open deck, but a high percentage of' losses was sustained by the force as a whole because of ,the lack of fuel. One SAN JACINTO Avenger, piloted by the 'skipper of Torpedo Squadron FIFTY-ONE, Lieutenant Commander D. MELVIN, 'made a water landing near a destroyergand the crew was rescued. XfVe recovered all our other planes -safely and ten strange aircraft from other carriers, one of which made a dead-stick landing on our flight deck, demolishing the plane but the crew was unharmed. f An unusual incident occurred during these recoveries. A strange aircraft entered the landing circle and made not one but two excellent approaches but was waved off each time be- cause his tail hook was not down. After the second wave-off, he flew down the length of our flight deck about fifty feet above the deck into the glare of the searchlight, where his red meatball markings were clearly visible. It was a Judy Uapanese dive- bomberj ! J He made no attempt to strafe or bomb. but veered off. to port and flew out to the VVest. He was tracked by the radar to a distance of fifty miles, then disappeared. Curiosity, courage, or confusion? The next day, 21 June, we continued our westward course and many survivors were rescued in the area of the attack on' the Jap Fleet. On the 22nd, we reversed course and returned to the vicinity of SAIPAN to resumed our attacks upon the entire MARIANAS Chain: PAGAN, SAIPAN, TINIAN. ROTA and GUAM: these were continued without interruption through 5 July. J I During this period, enemy aircraft raids by small groups were consistently intercepted and broken up by our Combat Air Patrols without damage to the ship or workouts for our gunners. adding to our Air Group's mounting tally fourladdi- tional enemy planes. Q , ' Vice Admiral S. MCCAIN, who was soon to become Com- mander SECOND Carrier Task Force and Commander Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT, landed aboard in an Avenger for an informal visit of several hours on 25 June, flying off in the late afternoon. ' J X On 3 July, Lieutenant W. R. MOONEY, who had been shot down near 'GUAM on l6 June, and 'missing since, was returned to the ship, having been recovered by a seaplane from the battleship WASHINGTON. He had got clear of his sink- ing plane, though badly lacerated about the face and limbs, and-into his raft. He spent seventeen days paddling about off- shore in the day-time pushing into an isolated stretch of beach at night to grub at roots, shellhsh, and spring water. He was emaciated and sun-blackened, but expressed a' desire to re- main with his fellows 'rather than be returned for hospitaliza- tion and his wish was granted. s ' .-,.., V.----A.--N ...W . .............,,.,.,., . . . -:-- f-f- X f -H---f-. .--,,. .,,. .......-.,--v A. -N-.,f .. ..-.'.n,.,. --s--v- -- - N- --, .-.f-.-04, ,,, --v..-T.,-,f.-.-.,-.,-.v-.,.,,,,,A, , Y' YM A' --...fu--,--,-..... . -V. -..Msn- --V .--..........-- g.......- - 31..-'!S'l f? i'-f.?5t .

We got underf way againion 14 July to return to the MARIANAS area. Wye resumed strike operations' on 18 july, emphasis now being devoted to GUAM and ROTA. On 20 July Ensign Jack O. GUY, USNR, made the 3000th landing aboard. We remained in support of our ground forces ,landings on GUAM until 22 July, then we steamed southward to conduct operations against PALAU, YAP and ULITHI. On 25 July, a division of' SAN JACIN TO fighters on an anti- shipping strike, encountered an enemy destroyer, thirty miles northeast 'of BABELTHUAP escorted by a Jake Ensign L. A. BIRD, USNR, attacked and shot down the enemy air- craft while the other three fighters made strafrng runs on the destroyer. The enemy ship, apparently loaded with munitions, blew apart with a terrific mushrooming explosion which sent smoke and debris billowing upwards3,000 feet. The force of .the explosion so severely damaged the airplane piloted by Ensign N. J. ADAMS, USNR, that it was barely able to reach the Task Group where it made a water landing. The pilot was rescued unhurt.

I.. CHANGE IN COMMAND-OPERATIONS IN, sUPPoRT I or RECAPTURE or LRYTE 4 N 14 October 1944 a new Skipper was assigned to the UlS.S. SAN JACINTO, Captain Michael H. KERN- ODLE, U.S. Navy, taking command. Assuming command of one of the Navy's fast aircraft carriers is a notablevoccasion under ordinary circumstances, accompanied by much pomp and ceremony. But the conditions under which this change of command took place were anything but ordinary. None the customary inspections and drills simulating combat conditions, to acquaint the new Captain with the fighting characteristics of 'his new ship, were necessary. The ship was actually engaged in battle before, during, and after the occasion. On this date, the SAN JACINTO, with her Air Group FIFTY-ONE, was operating against the enemy as a part of famous Carrier Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT, in the waters just east of FORMOSA. The Task Force was supporting the capture of LEYTE by launching air attacks against OKINAWA, FORMOSA, and LUZON, and in so doing, preventing the enemy from using them as bases for staging or reinforcement. , 1 ' The SAN JACINTO and other units of the Task Group to which she was attached, had sortied from SEEADLER HAR- BOR, MANUS ISLAND, on 24 September, to take part in these operations. On 8 October, while the SAN JACINTO was en route to this area, Captain KERNODLE landed on board in a Navy airplane from another aircraft carrier in the Force. Two days later, 10 October, ,aircraft of 'the SAN JACINTO struck the first of at series of all-out blows against OKINAVVA, catching the enemy by surprise and consequently receiving little opposition. Her aircraft strafed and burned twenty-four enemy planes on the ground at NAHA Airiieldg shot down one airborne enemy aircraft,,strafed, bombed, and set afire much of the town of YONABARUQ and torpedoed and sank two cargo ships in NAHA Harbor. On the 12th the japs searched for and found us,'and attacked. SAN JACINTO fighters shot down one single-engined torpedo plane and two twin-engine bombers. Snoopers trailed us throughout the night, and the next day, while the aircraft of our force were attacking FORMOSA in strength, the japs launched their heaviest counter-attacks, the SAN JACINTO being subjected to a par- ticularly violent one. During the day many planes were shot dowii by our fighter patrols, but some enemy aircraft pene- trated the Task Force screen, and at dusk, about eighteen enemy torpedo planes conducted an aggressive coordinated attack against the Task Force. Two picked the SAN JACINTO as their target. Both were promptly shot down by her guns, but not before they had l-aunched their torpedoes. By rapid and skillful maneuvering, the ship evaded both, one passing very close ahead and one close by the stern. However, the day was not over yet. About an hour later, a twin-engine bomber made an attack on our port quarter. The SAN JACINTO, assisted by a destroyer, shot it down before its bomb could be released. This was the new Captain's shakedown. The events of this day presaged accurately many to follow in the months ahead. The new Captain received no respite. The tense atmosphere of action continued. On the morning of the 15th, while the air,- craft of the Force were heavily pounding LUZON, enemy dive bombers again attacked the ship. During a melee in the sky over the formation, our pilots shot down four fighters. Later in the day SAN JACINTO Air Group accounted for five more M12 fighters, making a total of nine for the day. Afteria day of' relative inactivity, the Task Force resumed all-out attacks against LUZON' on the 17th, and our fighter pilots took the measure, of two Jap fighters off the coast of Central LUZON and shot them down. It was on this day that a tragic event' the history of the ship occurred. A fighter plane, landing on deck from a combat mission, bounced heavily and all machine guns accidentally fired, strafing the flight deck and island structure, killing one officer, one man, and wounding twenty- seven others. Captain KERNODLE was among those woundedl Deeply moving and impressive funeral services were held the morning of the l8th,for Lt. fj.g.j R. P. NAMES and T. FQ ROBINSON, Slc. The crew assembled at quarters and stood at rigid attention as Chaplain CORDES performed the final rites. Our colors and those of accompanying ships were at half- mast. A Marine Honor Guard fired the traditional volleys as the flag-draped shrouds were consigned to the deep. The mournful notes of Taps echoed in the stillness of their ship- mates' grief. - Operations against LUZON were continued on the 18th and 19th. On the 20th, our aircraft flew effective missions in sup- port of the landings on LEYTE which began that date. We departed the area on October 21 to rendezvous with another Group and proceed to ULITHI for replenishment, but on 'the' 23rdiword was received that major units of the Jap Fleet were on the move ,and that the long awaited showdown was in the ofling, so we reversed course and returned to the vicinity ofLEYTE and SAMAR. It was on the 23rd that Ensign W. H.- HILE made the 5000th landing aboard. , f 1 The three-day engagement, since designated variously as the Second Battle of the PHILIPPINE SEA, and the Battle df LEYTE GULF, began on the 24th of October with attacks on the two Southernmost of the three widely separated eneiny forces, viz., a Northern, Central, and Southern Force. The Southern Force consisted of two battleships and escorting cruis- ers and destroyers. It was heavily attacked as it moved east- ward in the SULU SEA toward SURIGAO STRAIT, by air- craft from our Task Group. Other Task Groups of our Task Force attacked the larger Central Force of battleships, cruisers, and destroyers, and were themselves heavily attacked by enemy land-based aircraft, the PRINCETON being damaged 'Qand subsequently sunk by our own forcesjf s To the keen disappointment of our pilots the SAN JACINTO was assigned only defensive patrols over the Force on the 24th -our Air Group Commander's gripes must have been heard in SAN FRANCISCO! Two enemy reconnaissance planes, how- ever, were intercepted and destroyed. Aircraft from the large carriers in our group heavily damaged the two Nip battleships and one cruiser of the Southern Force and inflicted less severe damage on a cruiser and a destroyer. Our pilots and our men on the ship listened to these accomplishments with pride and envy. . During the night of 24-25 October, our Task Group madf? a rendezvous with the other Task Groups of Task ForCC THIRTY-EIGHT and the entire Force sped northward t0 intercept and engage the enemy Northern Force Qof' four carriers, two battleships, five cruisers, and ten destroyersj, leav- x v I ,f ,j:j.?.fg'2t:f'r?i':j.1:ex29z:fr-sL.i-H-..-iwmzfn-sv1ss'.s2f'm -4 rf --1:-'sv-we-an-uwrw'r-.v..:v.:- 1- azz'-.:.-,--, .--.. . .'- '..'.:::' B W1 ' rv: . r ' baefmuffd-if--faxing-F . - -- . . . .. . . .. .

Heavy long-range air strikes were launched at dawn and continued throughout the day as the Force maintained high speeds northward in an attempt to close the fieeing enemy force. Observation planes had reported the enemy carriers launching at dawn, but the attacking Air Groups encountered negligible airborne resistance and enemy aircraft failed to attack our Task Force. The Combat Air Patrols did encounter a group of enemy planes at extreme range, but they fled before our fighters could close. SAN JACINTO aircraft scored three torpedo hits in the Jap Light Carrier ZUIHO, plus two 500-pound bomb hits, in her upper works. VVe are officially credited with sinking her. The ZUIHO was the exact counterpart of the SAN JACINTO. Also infiicted were one torpedo hit on the SHOKAKU-Class Carrier and one torpedo hit on each of two heavy cruisers. A light carrier, a heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and three destroyers were heavily strafed, with considerable damage. Thus in this now famous naval battle, the SAN JACINTO justified the faith of her builders and the pride of her crew. She more than paid for herself on this one day alone, neatly presenting the Mikado with a bill many times over her own cost, a bill it must have hurt him grievously to pay. One of our lighter aircraft, piloted by Ensign H. E. MAT- THEWS, was lost to anti-aircraft fire fpilot is missing in actionj. One torpedo plane was also shot down in flames, but the pilot, Lt. R. B. PLAISTED and his aircrewmen W. M. TOMES -and J. S. SMITH, JR., managed to get clear. and into their life-raft. They had a miraculous escape floating through the Jap battle formation, being fired upon by a Jap destroyer, which fortunately for them was diverted from its mission of destruction by the appearance of friendly fighter aircraft. That night, American warships which had closed to finish off the cripples, fired over their heads and sank a Nipponese light cruiser. At dawn the following day they were rescued by the destroyer CAPERTON, after search planes had located them and directed her to the scene. ' Two other torpedo planes were badly damaged by anti-air- craft fire, one having the tip of the port wing shot away, the other being skillfully piloted home by Lt. BOREN, after the port elevator and stabilizer were completely shot away and the rudder riddled. Late in the morning of the 25th, word was received that the Central Force had sortied through SAN BERNARDINO STRAIT and was attacking our escort carriers off LEYTE GULF, while ships of the Southwest Pacific Fleet were en- gaging the Southern Force. One of our fast Carrier Groups and almost all of our battle line immediately turned south and sped to their assistance. The rest of us continued our north- ward pursuit until dusk, when we also turned about. Of the Northern Force, all four carriers, two light cruisers, and one destroyer were sunk, while two battleships, three cruisers, and several destroyers were damaged but escaped. For gallantry and intrepidity in action in this decisive engagement of war, Captain KERNODLE was awarded the Silver Star Medal by Vice Admiral S. McCAIN, Commander, Second Carrier Task Force. Our Task Group remained within striking distance of the area of the previous day's engagement on the 26th, while SAN JACINTO planes searched for cripples and survivors. Planes from other groups of our Task Force pummeled the Jap Cen- tral Force retiring through the VISAYAN SEA. The searches proved negative and we retired toward SAMAR to undertake a support aviation role for MacARTHUR'S ground forces on the 27th. A crippled Jap heavy cruiser was spotted in the VISAYAN SEA and sunk by planes from our Group. J On the 28th we again furnished support for the Army troops. Combat Air Patrols over the target did a thriving business, but Force patrols were negative except for a witness role played by a SAN JACINTO anti-submarine patrol plane as the destroyer HELM scored a positive kill on an enemy sub- marine skulking in our vicinity. We commenced retirement toward the fueling area onthe 29th but being advised that the Japanese were ferrying air- craft into CEBU and LOS NEGROS we reversed course at midnight and returned to the vicinity of SAMAR. On the afternoon of 30 October the screening destroyers in our Task Group were being refueled by the large carriers and battleships when a squadron of Jap planes was reported closing from the West. Fueling operations were suspended at once and all carriers began scrambling their fighters. Our Combat Air Patrol shot down four Jap aircraft but six broke through the air patrols and made aggressive suicide attacks on our ships. This was our first experience with the vicious and fanatic Kamikaze. Both the FRANKLIN and BELLEAU WOOD were hit andlarge fires started. Two enemy planes in -quick succession peeled off from their formation and-made suicide dives on the SAN JACINTO. The first began his run on our starboard beam and never varied as he plunged straight down, repeatedly hit- by our anti-aircraft fire. Our evasive turns pulled us out of his line of descent and he crashed flam- ing into the sea just forward of our portside amidship. The second plane also began his run from starboard but made a radical change of course attempting to follow our maneuvers, his final approach almost paralleled our length. Anti-aircraft fire also repeatedly hit this aircraft, causing smoke but not fiaming him. He crashed very close aboard our starboard bow. We suffered no material damage but salt water and debris showered the full length of the ship and one man was slightly wounded. Only expert handling saved the ship from the fate of its sisters. No one who witnessed 'the attack could believe we had escaped. We shot a wing off the sixth plane, as it crossed overhead' making its run on the ENTERPRISE, flaming it and causing it to fall well short of its target. For their parts in our successful repulse of the enemy, Com- mander C. S. COOPER was awarded the Silver Star Medal: Lieutenant Commanders G. M. WINNE, L. S. SWEPSTON, P. E. HARTMANN and C. L. MITCHINER, the Bronze Star Medal. Several officers and enlisted men of the Gunnery Department received Letters of Commendation from Admiral HALSEY. U D On 31 October we commenced retirement toward ULITHI. in the Western CAROLINES, arriving there on 2 November. After a three - day' period of replenishment the SAN JACINTO sortied from ULITHI on 5 November with a re- organized composite Task Group and set course for the LEYTE-SAMAR area. Adverse weather slowed our advance and, prior to our arrival, orders were received to poceed in- stead to the vicinity of SAN BERNARDINO STRAITS, where we arrived on ll November. SAN JACINTO planes flew de- fensive combat patrols, intercepting and destroying a twin- engine bomber and a single-engine torpedo tplane, while air- craft'from the large carriers were attacking an enemy convoy of four transports, a light cruiser, and three destroyers west of LEYTE en route to ORMOC BAY. All except one destroyer were either sunk or heavily damaged. On 13 and lfl November, a series of strikes were conducted against enemy aircraft, airfields, and shipping in the M ANILA BAY area. On the 13th, SAN JACINTO torpedo planes scored - -..-...,....-.-.,....-.,.,..., ,,.,,-,-.-Q.-.-W., ,, 1 , , N , , MMM, , - M, , 'Ct?1f1f'Qf:'i:?f':t cszf zrszavsiitfz --4. 5'.s2fa11Q'.-1'E's':x'F'-wir . ...,. , .

They also bombed a cargo vessel and caused a large explosion at the CAVITE Naval Base. On the 14th, our planes assumed the group patrol duty and shot down an enemy torpedo plane. We cruised well clear of the area from the 15th through the 18th, but returned to attack MANILA on the 19th. Targets were scarce but our Avenger located a Jap destroyer escort off MORON and set it afire with a 500-pound bomb hit. Other aircraft subsequently attacked it, and the vessel appeared to be either sinking or beached. Our fighters on patrol shot down three enemy twin-engine bombers. On 20 November our Task Group commenced retirement toward ULITHI, making experimental Napalm drops in un- opposed strikes on YAP en route. We arrived at ULITHI on 22 November for a week's replenishment period and the op- portunity to give the crew some rest and much-needed recrea- tion. WVe also had the sad duty to perform of conducting mass Memorial Services for those of our pilots and aircrewmen who had made the supreme sacrihce. The tribute included those missing in action as well as those definitely killed. The services were performed on Thanksgiving Day, 23 November, Chaplain CORDES officiating. The entire crew attended and thecolors were at half-mast. ' On 29 November, the SAN JACINTO sortied, under escort of two destroyers, to proceed to APRA HARBOR, GUAM, to effect the relief of Air Group FIFTY-ONE by Air Group FORTY-FIVE. We dropped anchor in APRA HARBOR on the morning of 30 November, the- first light carrier' to visit that port since the recapture of GUAM. We bade adieu to Air Group FIFTY-ONE, which had been aboard since commissioning, and had established itself as one of the foremost Air Groups of the Fleet. It exactly matched its numerical designation by shooting down fifty-one airborne enemy planes. It sank the ZUIHO, two destroyers, two cargo vessels, and three armed trawlers, plus numerous lesser craft. It destroyed and damaged many aircraft on the ground and heaped destruction on enemy airfields and ground installa- tions. Its pilots and crewmen had won six Navy Crosses, one Silver Star, 28 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 49 Air Medals, 2 Purple Hearts. WVe embarked Air Group FORTY-FIVE fCommanded by Commander G. E. SCHECTER, USNQ, and sortied on the afternoon -of 30 November to effect a rendezvous with other units of the Fast Carrier Task Force in the area north of ULITHI at dawn on 2 December. A week's intensive training for the new air group and ship's company followed. We re- entered ULITHI on 8 December to commence preparations for return to sea. X . . .

No airborne enemy planes were found and only a few were observed on the fields. One fighter destroyed three grounded planes at APARRI and strafed and rocketed dud aircraft and ground installations. Operational losses were heavy, two fighters piloted by Lieu- tenants LENDO and T. P. MCCANN failing' to ,return Qpilots declared missing in actionj, one other making a water landing Qpilot rescued by destroyerj, two more crashing into the barriers Qpersonnel unharmedj. Sweeps were again flown on 15 and 16 December..No air- borne enemy planes were encountered and no aircraft except the wrecks at APARRI observed on the ground. Rockets and ammunition were expended against ground targets. Our tor- pedo planes bombed installations at APARRI on the 16th. destroying buildings and cratering runways. On 17 December the Task Force retired to the fueling area south of Eastern LUZON. The heavy seas and adverse weather forced discontinuation of all fueling and flight operations and a new rendezvous point was designated for the resumption of fueling the following day. Dawn on the 18th found the Task Force and Logistic Units fighting their way through one of the most severe typhoons ever to be encountered and survived by naval units in the Pacific. 'The storm reached its maximum intensity at about 1030 with many ships suffering varying degrees of damage. three destroyers being lost. The SAN JACINTO suffered severe though not crippling damage when the excessive rolling Q42 degreesj and pitching caused a plane on the hangar deek to loosen and snap its heavily reinforced mooring lines. The runaway smashed into other parked aircraft, loosing them in turn, and in short order the hangar deck was a sliding mass of planes, engines, tractors -and other heavy equipment which was smashed from side to side, ripping open and carrying away air intakes and ventilation ducts. Small fires which broke out were quickly extinguished and, by the valiant efforts of repair parties and volunteers, the hangar deck was secured by 1600. The storm gradually abated during the afternoon and repairs were commenced immediately. The ship remained operational and fully able to operate her aircraft, though hangar deck installations were badly smashed and some machinery had suffered salt-water damage. Much of the repair work was accomplished en route by the ship's company as the group commenced retirement toward ULITHI on 19 December. On arrival at ULITHI on 21 December, tender availability was granted and the SAN JACINTO moored alongside the U.S.S. HECTOR from 22 to 27 December to complete repairs. Christmas day was celebrated with religious observances and a mammoth turkey dinner. The repair work on the hangar deck precluded holding the gala smoker planned for the occa- sion, but the wardroom and messing spaces were appropriately decorated and in the morning carol singing was piped over the loudspeaker system. Many Christmas packages from home had arrived well in advance for the most part to contribute greatly toward easing the inevitable heartache of a Christmas away from one's loved ones. On 30 December the SAN JACINTO sortied with other units of Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT for the purpose of once again spearheading an amphibious assault by isolating the prospective invasion point through neutralization attacks on potential enemy staging and reinforcement bases. Mac- AtRTHUR'S troops were to assault the LINGAYEN area of LUZON, in support, we set course for the vicinity of Eastern FORMOSA, and on 3 january 1945, launched strikes against airfields in Central FORMOSA. Our planes encountered no airborne opposition, but ran into accurate though moderate anti-aircraft fire. Two Avengers were lost to flak, but the pilot and crew of one were recovered. The pilot and crew of the other, Ensign C. H. FRISBIE, O. J., GEOFFROY and E. J. PARRISH are missing in action. At least twelve enemy planes on the ground were destroyed and fourteen damaged. Strikes were continued on the 5th in spite of adverse weather, and our planes destroyed four more grounded aircraft, damaged two, and destroyed and damaged numerous ground installa- tions. Again hampered by inclement weather, we directed our attacks on 6 january against Northern LUZON, bombing and strafing installations at APARRI and destroying many enemy small craft at the mouth of the CAGAYAN RIVER. On the 7th, LUZON was again the target. Our planes destroyed two grounded enemy aircraft on BATAN Island and destroyed four of the numerous well-camouflaged and dispersed aircraft at CLARK FIELD, as well as starting numerous fires. On this latter strike, they encountered intense and accurate anti-air- craft fire and one Hellcat returned badly riddled, with the pilot, Ensign D. R. PAUL, wounded slightly by shrapnel. On 9 January QD-day at LINGAYENQ, we returned to the mine-laden waters off FORMOSA and resumed' the attack, our aircraft destroying eleven enemy planes on the' ground and damaging eight others. ' Thatnight, just before midnight, the Task Force dramati- cally threaded BASHI Channel and entered the SOUTH CHINA SEA. We steamed its width and on 12 january launched strikes against CAMRANH BAY and SAIGON, FRENCH INDO-CHINA. Off CAPE ST. JACQUES, our planes obtained torpedo and rocket hits on a destroyer or destroyer-escort, damaged and drove -ashore another and placed two close 500-pound bombs near a moored light cruiser, which was later observed capsized and smoking. They also bombed and fired the Standard Vacuum and Shell Oil plants at SAIGON and scored bomb hits on several cargo ships in- the harbor. They encountered no airborne opposition but flak was. intense and accurate .and one Avenger piloted by Ensign P. LAMBROS was lost near SAIGON. We subsequently learned that he and his crewmen, R. D. FETZER and E. X. SANTO PADR12, were rescued by Free French agents. and spirited to Kunming, China, whence they came back to the States via Africa and South America. I On the 15th, Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT attacked targets on the CHINA COAST and FORMOSA simultaneously. SAN JACINTO planes destroyed four enemy aircraft on the ground and damaged nineteen in attacks on FORMOSA airhelds, sank a destroyer in TOSHIEN HARBOR and heavily bombed TOSHIEN and TAKAO. Several enemy planesattempted to attack the Force at dusk, but were intercepted by our fighter patrols. Five japs were shot down and the rest fled. The Task Force again attacked the CHINA COAST-FOIL MOSA area on the 16th, from a point south of HONG KONG SAN JACINTO planes bombed, rocketed, and strafed two air- fields on HAINAN Island, destroying two grounded planes, damaging several others. ' Adverse weather put a stop to all further operations and course was set on the 18th for a sortie through SURIGAO STRAITS. Moderating weather caused a change in plans and the Force exited through BALINTANG CHANNEL on the evening of 20 january. Our course crossed the direct line of the air-transport route between FORMOSA and LUZON and eleven enemy aircraft which appeared in the' 'vicinity were shot down by the Force fighter patrols. ' On 2l January, Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT, operating off the east coast of FORMOSA, launched strikes against air- craft, shipping, and installations. At noon, while destroyers were being topped off by larger units, warning of approaching enemy aircraft was given. A few minutes later, two enemy air- craft appeared overhead. SAN JACINTO guns opened fire as these aircraft dived on formation. The TICONDEROGA was hit by a crash-diving suicider, causing a large explosion and SAN IACINTO searnanshzp enabled her to refuel under typhoon 5 . conditions when most other ships could not. a fierce fire. An enemy dive-bomber falmost incredibly not a Kamikazej, scored two direct hits with light bombs on the LANGLEY. This second plane opened to the west and was shot down by SAN -IACINTO fighters returning from FOR- MOSA. Additional enemy aircraft attacked the formation, one diving into the listing but still firing TICONDEROGA and starting her fires afresh. Two others were shot down by ship's anti-aircraft fire and in the melee overhead, the fighter patrols shot down twelve more. Our Air Group's score for the day included two enemy planes shot down in combat near the Force, five destroyed and two damaged on the ground, damage to four cargo vessels and numerous ground installations. The damaged units departed that evening while the balance of the Force proceeded to the vicinity of the NANSEI SHOTO to launch attacks on the 22nd with the primary mission' of photographic coverage. Photographic results proved excellent, but SAN JACINTO planes additionally destroyed small ship- ping in NAGO IVAN, OKINAWA, and destroyed six grounded enemy aircraft on IE WSHIMA. U We commenced retirement toward ULITHI on 23- january, arriving early on 26 January for a two-week replenishment and recreation period. Readying the ship for sea took precedence, but recreational parties were held ashore on the well-developed facilities of MOG MOG Island, where every man could enjoy cool drinks and baseball, swimming and shell-hunting, horse- shoes or volleyball. During our stay in port basketball and boxing competitions were held with other ships and movies shown nightly. It was during this stay in port that the Christmas gifts, so thoughtfully furnished by the Baptist Women's'City Union of HOUSTON, Texas, arrived and were distributed to a grateful crew.

With other units of Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT, we sortied from ULITHI on 10 February 1945 and set course for the vicinity of Southern HONSHU, our mission being to touch off the impending amphibious assault upon IWO JIMA by fulfilling the Navy's long-cherished, long-planned dream of launching strong car- rier attacks on TOKYO, seat of the Stolen Empire, Shrine of Shintoisrn, fountainhead of the treachery of PEARL HARBOR. p Dawn of 16 February found Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT about one hundred and fifty miles off the coast of Southeastern HONSHU. Interdiction patrols by land-based search planes ranging far ahead had cleared our path by engaging and destroying enemy picket craft and reconnaissance aircraft. At least partial surprise was achieved, as many planes were still on the ground when our dawn fighter sweeps reached their targets. Aggressive interception by numerous well-trained enemy fighters prevented full exploitation, however, and the number of enemy planes destroyed in air combat far exceeded those destroyed on the ground. Our fighters on these sweeps shot down nineteen enemy planes and probably destroyed five more. The Hellcat piloted by Lt. J. E. HOOD was so seri- ously damaged it made a water landing near the Force. The pilot was not recovered and was declared missing in action. Several other fighters were badly shot up but returned safely. It should be pointed out here that SAN JACINTO pilots were among the first to hit TOKYO. Our Task Group sent in the first strikes that morning and our pilots were included in that strike. just as SAN JACINTO planes came closer to the Empire in the MARCUS and WAKE foray of May, 1944, than any previous Naval aircraft, so now they were in the van on those TOKYO strikes. The fact that only nine months sep- arates these two series- of action is a compellingreminder of the speed with which the United States Navy moved in the Pacific. Our Avengers attacked the OTA and KOIZUMI aircraft engine plants, causing numerous fires and explosions with re- sulting severe damage. They and our escorting fighters were jumped by an aggressive group of forty enemy fighters just after leaving the target and fought a running battle clear to the coast. Our torpedo squadron gunners shot down two enemy planes while our fighters destroyed eight and probably five more. Many of our aircraft were damaged, but all returned safely. Enemy counter-activity in the vicinity of the Force was sur- prisingly small. Three enemy planes were shot down by our Combat Air Patrols and one was shot down by anti-aircraft fire from a picket destroyer. The Task Force again attacked the TOKYO area on 17 February but'adverse weather forcedicurtailment and then cancellation of most of the effort. The SAN JACINTO launched one strike against KISARAZU airfield but most of the torpedo planes were forced back short of the target. One Avenger and five Hellcats got through and bombed and rocketed with unobserved results. The Avenger was so seri- ously damaged that it was forced to make a water landing. The pilot and his crew were rescued by a destroyer. We retired southward toward IWO JIMA to commence operations in direct support of the landings on 19 February.

Enemy aircraft appeared in the area in the evening and one was shot down within the formation but no ships were damaged. P On the 20th, we retired to the fueling area to add another to our book of tricks by replenishing ammunition at sea for the first time, an accomplishment of obvious logistic value. So far as is known the SAN JACINTO was the first carrier of its class, and probably the first of any class, to effect a com plete replenishment of ammunition at sea. Our debutwas very successful and soon we became so adept at transferring material at sea that even torpedoes did not phase us. We returned to IWO for further support missions on the 21st and 22nd. One of our fighters crashed off the island after being damaged in a strafing run on the 2lst. The pilot, Lt Qj.g.j M. A. MOSELY, was rescued by friendly forces and re turned to the ship. Heavy attacks were made on the amphib ious support ships that evening fthe SARATOGA being seri ously damaged among othersj and many enemy planes were in our own areas, though no attacks were pressed home. Hampered by extremely unfavorable weather, the Task Force returned to the coast of HONSHU to launch further attacks on the TOKYO area. on 25 February. SAN JACINTO aircraft attempted twenty-five sorties but only six Hellcats were able to get through to their targets. They attacked HYAKURIGA HARA airfield and destroyed fourteen aircraft on the ground damaging ,nine others and various ground installations. They also strafed numerous small' craft on their return. N The enemy made no attempt at counteraction. A X , During the night of 25-26 February, the Task Force threaded the passage between SUMISU SHIMA and TORI SHIMA weather forced our southward retirement. l On 27 February while the SAN .IACINTO was fueling from the tanker U.S.S. MERRIMACK in an area west of the BONINS, the tanker suddenly yawed off course and struck our number one stack with her superstructure. She opened and then yawed again, the two sterns meeting. We sustained con siderable damage to our-starboard catwalk installations, but it was nogsuflicient to impair our battle efficiency. We proceeded westward toward OKINAWA and on.l March launched heavy strikes and photographic missions against the entire RYUKYUS Chain. SAN JACINTO planes destroyed four enemy aircraft on the ground, bombed and rocketed ground installations, and strafed small craft. The photographic coverage was excellent. The Force commenced retirement toward ULITHI on 2 March and arrived there late in the afternoon of 4 March. The SAN JACINTO was. granted tender availability to effect re pairs of collision damage and was moored alongside the 'U.S.S JASON from 6 to 12 March. , . Recreational parties were sandwiched in between the para mount effort of readying the ship for sea. .On ll March, Commodore A. A. BURKE, Chief of Staff to Vice Admiral MITSCHER, Commander, First Carrier Task Force, paid the ship an ofiicial visit. Duringthe evening of the Same daYf two Japanese suicide planes made a surprise night attack on the anchorage. One of them crashed into the after end of the RANDOLPH, which was anchored in the next berth to the SAN JACINTO, causing large fires and ex plosions. The other harmlessly crashed a small island of the atouf aPPaTf3Htly mistaking its silhouette for that ofa carrier , , ,.,. ..,.., '-NN.,- ..,,,, .--WN, Mc. ,,., v. , . , - . ......,,.- .--.. -:, ,,.,...,.N.,.a..,..ac,,,.,,,,,,., N-.fw-N..-.,, ,....,.-...,,.....,.. ...- , - r. - ...... f. .-.-4---4-----W ... -.-K . , .

CHAPTER vm OKINAWA CAMPAIGN N 14 March 1945, the SAN JACINTO sortied from ULITHI with other units of Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT to begin what was up to that time the longest and most arduous of its combat missions, the bloody and costly subjugation of OKINAWA JIMA, where American forces were no longer only breaking through the outer and inner defense rings, but were seizing a part of the Empire itself. OKINAWA was the strategic key to the whole Pacific tactical situation. Japanese resistance was determined and fanatic and for a while the Navy's price in casualties exceeded that of the Army and Marine Corps combined. With its fall V-J Day was advanced by an incalculable number of months. . Task Force FIFTY-EIGI-IT was to inaugurate the campaign with a two-day smash at airfields on KYUSHU and combatant naval units in the INLAND SEA. Course was set for the Empire after refueling in an area north and west of SAIPAN on I6 March. On the 17th, our forces were temporarily bolstered by the voluntary attachment of a large whale, who took up a position about six hundred yards on the port beam of the SAN JACINTO and maintained station for about ten minutes, making good the course and seventeen-knot speed of the forma- tion. We were deserted soon after, however. Perhaps it was the mating season and we failed to pass inspection? On the morning of I8 March, Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT was deployed off the Southeast coast of KYUSHU. Attacks in force were launched at dawn and continued throughout the day. SAN JACINTO planes destroyed fourteen grounded enemy aircraft at MIYAKANOJO and damaged many more. Numerous buildings were bombed and rocketed and a large section of an aircraft assembly plant at KAGOSHIMA was destroyed. Successful photographic missions were flown and several small luggers destroyed. Our Air Group Commander, Commander Gordon E. SCHECTER, USN, was declared miss- ing in action when his fighter was shot down on the first sweep. One Avenger made a water landing but the pilot and crew were rescued. Throughout the day, enemy aircraft snooped and attacked the Task Force. Although enemy planes could be seen making numerous attacks on the other Task Groups fthe INTREPID being grazed by a suicider within easy sight distance from usj and the Combat Air Patrols shot down many planes in our hvicinity, our own Task Group was not actually attacked. On the 19th, Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT launched strikes against naval shipping at KURE HARBOR from waters South of SHIKOKU. SAN JACINTO aircraft damaged a large carrier, and an escort carrier with 500-pound bomb hits, also scoring bomb and rocket hits on four cargo vessels. From early morning until nightfall, enemy planes snooped the vicinity of the forces. Shortly after daybreak, an enemy bomber dropped out of the clouds directly overhead, dived over the SAN JACINTO, and loosed its bomb on the FRANK- LIN with disastrous results. The stricken ship was a mass of smoke and flame within secondsg it was repeatedly racked by terrific explosions and soon was listing heavily. Several of our support units moved to cover her and render aid while the re- mainder of our Task Group maneuvered in close vicinity, less than fifty miles from the SHIKOKU coast. In midmorning, the ENTERPRISE joined our Task Group as reinforcement to replace the FRANKLIN. Additional enemy planes attempting attack- were intercepted and destroyed by the Combat Air Patrols, SAN JACINTO planes shooting down five. The order of the day for Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT was the successful salvage of the battered FRANKLIN and all else took second place. Our own Task Group remained close by with the other groups of the Task Force in the general area, as the Japs mounted determined attacks against us throughout the daylight hours of the 20th, following all night snooping raids. Over one hundred enemy planes attacked the Force at intervals during thegday. Most of them were shot down by our lighter patrols but many got through to the Force. In midafter- noon, one enemy plane made a suicide run on the HANCOCK. The SAN JACINTO and many other ships threw up so much flak that the aircraft burst into flame and swerved in its course, missing the HANCOCK 'but unfortunately hitting the stern of the destroyer HALSEY POWELL, close aboard the big carrier. Shortly afterward, two dive-bombers made runs on the ENTERPRISE. The first one 'missed his target narrowly with his bomb, but demonstrated some beautiful evasive tactics to elude the intense anti-aircraft fire directed at him and escaped, one of the very few Japanese who have attacked Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT and lived even a short time to think about it. This plane was later intercepted and shot down by the Combat Air Patrol. The second Jap scored a direct hit on the ENTER- PRISE but was shot down by anti-aircraft fire as great fires broke out on the Big Four other Jap planes attacked before dusk, one apiece diving on each of the four carriers of our group. The still burn- ing ENTERPRISE blasted' her attacker apart as his bomb missed. The SAN JACINTO shot her Jap down early in its dive before its bomb had been released. Both of the other planes also missed their marks and were shot down going away, one of them having its tail shot off by our guns as it crossed our bow at close range. A Hellcat fighter which had followed this last plane in its dive was recognized too late and also shot down in flames by the intense anti-aircraft fire of the group. The pilot escaped with minor injuries. Our guns fired l2,924 rounds that day to score two kills and two assists. V The Japs continued their harassment as our forces reached extreme range of the 21st, keeping us at battle stations for most of this fourth consecutive day of intense action. Many planes were shot down by our fighter patrols, but others got through and a carrier fthe WASPJ in another Task Group, was hit and seriously damaged. A twin-eugined bomber dove on the SAN JACINTO shortly after noon. It was shot' down in flames by our guns but released a heavy bomb which fell short by several hundred yards, erupting a huge geyser of water but doing no damage. Five-inch shells- burst all around the SAN JACINTO during this attack and five men received shrapmfl W0UHdSS none proved serious, however. OU the 22I1d, the Task Force had cleared the danger area. Our Task Group was dissolved and our damaged units retired while the SAN JACINTO reported to another Fast Carrier THSIC Group of Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT as replacement fOr 'the damaged WASP, -fv-'-,-.--,v..5J.-.-f.-.f.i. -.-.'.a-f.w-v-.-...-.4-Q-Q-.-H.-.1-.-V--., - . .

I f e On 23 Marchiwe commenced operations against the NAN- SEI SHOTO preliminary to and in support of the invasion of KERAMA RETTO, OKINAVVA, and IE SHIMA, with strikes against grountl 'installations and small shipping at OKINAW'A on that date. The following day, eight of our torpedo-carrying Avengers assisted in the complete destruction of a ship convoy in the EAST CHINA SEA as others of our planes again struck NANSEI SHOTO. We shifted our attack to SAKISHIMA GUNTO on the 25th, SAN JACINTO planes destroying six- teeni grounded enemy aircraft and sinking eight small craft. Attacks on the OKINAIVA area resumed on the 27th, SAN JACINTO planesydestroying two enemy aircraft on the ground at KIKAI and damaging two small cargo ships. Lt. B. PETTIGREW was killed in action when his fighter was shot down over the target. Enemy aircraft attacked in the inorning, four planes being shot down by anti-aircraft fire and fighter patrols as a bomb missed' the BENNINGTON and a torpedo hit the MURRAY, freakishly passing clean through her bow without exploding. We moved northeastward on the 28th to launch a long- range, search and attack mission against Jap fleet units're- ported moving down from KYUSHU. The search proved nega- tive but. SAN JACINTO aircraft sank six coastal cargo vessels on the return trip. The planes were late in returning, many landing after dark. One lighter plane crashed through all three barriers and destroyed fourparked torpedo planes. Several personnel were injured, only one of them seriously. All five planes had to be jettisoned. 4 on 31 March we commenced operations in direct support of the Easter morning Q1 Aprilj landings on OKINAWA, our planes performing specific missions against enemy pillboxes, trenches, boating and installations as requested by the troops. Enemy air opposition until 6 April was confined to single- plane raids easily disposed of by our fighters' patrols. On 2 April Ensign C. L. SHARP and aircrewmen E. BARKER and W, . CORNETT were declared missing in action when their Avenger failed to return from a support mission. On 3 April Lt. fj.g.j C. W. DYSERT-and aircrewmen H. C. BUSH and R. E. HUFFORD were similarly missing in action. A fighter was also lost on 3 April but the pilot was rescued. '6 April saw the Japanese launch an all-out air offensive against American forces in the vicinity of OKINAWA. An estimated five hundred planes, nearly all Kamikazes, attacked Task Force F IFTY-EIGHT andthe Amphibious Forces. Over three hundred of them were shot out of the air by our fighters and anti-aircraft fire. Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT' escaped without serious harm, but many of the amphibious units were hit. ' I Combat Air Patrols successfully warded off all attacks on our own Task 'Group during the morning but shortly after noon a single suicider dove on the BENNINGTON and missed. About an hour later,'four more attacked the formation, two picking the SAN JACINTO as their target. Our guns shot a wing off one and 'plummeted him into the sea off our starboard quarter. The second dove at us from astern, was repeatedly hit by our anti-aircraft fire and flamed up when about one hundred yards away, crashing out of control in our wake. One dove at the BELLEAU VVOOD and missed, the fourth being knocked down by heavy fire before he was able to pick a definite target. A few minutes later another Jap suicider burst out of low clouds less than four thousand yards away and began diving at our bow from dead ahead. Our guns opened concentrated fire at short range and poured repeated hits into him, but he came on in, finally crashing into the sea less than fifty feet off our starboard bow. The ensuing explosion splattered the flight deck and bridge with pieces of plane, Jap pilot, shrapnel, oil and water. One officer and four men were wounded, one man . ' x-if ' fatally, and miscellaneous superficial damage was done to the ship., J i I - . For services rendered on this violent day, Captain Michael H. KERNODLE and Commander A. MORENO were later awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Lieutenant Commanders G. M. WINNE and L. S. SWEPSTON Gold Stars in lieu of af second Bronze Star Medal. Several members of the gun crews were also recommended for lesser awards. A J I - f Killed in action was Seaman First Class Ray Alonzo HOFF- MAN. He was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star-Medal' and Purple Heart. Burial services were held on 7 April, Chap-K lain CORDES ofhciatifng. ' V On 7 April, the Japs committed the cardinal blunder of sending out the battleship YAMATO and a screen of support ships without air cover. Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT planes attacked and sank the YAMATO and most of her escorts, only! three destroyers escaping. SAN JACINTO planes sank the large destroyer which was designated as their target. For their parts in leading this attack, Ensign J. L. MASON of the Tor-- pedo Squadron was awarded the Navy Cross and Lt. B. Killer CAIN of the Fighting Squadron, the Silver Star Medal.. Japanese planes were in ourxvicinity the remainder of the day, but only two were able to elude our fighter patrols and' attack the group. The MASSACHUSETTS and SAN JUAN' respectively exhibited some beautiful 5-inch marksmanship and' shot them down before their runs were well started. At this point, the support units and escort carriers of the Amphibious Forces assumed the tactical air support function for the troops -and Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT'S main duty became smothering the violent but spasmodic Jap air counter- attacks. I ' 'A V. The first of these came early on 12 April, three enemy planes being shot down by night fighters before sunrise. During the deep sorrow of the death of their Commander-in-Chief, Presi-1 dent Franklin Delano ROOSEVELTQ their' sorrow was height- ened by the knowledge that his youngest son, Lt. John'Aspin-I wall ROOSEVELT, was attached to the Task Group Com-- mander's Staff. I , The Japs attacked again in greater force on the 14th. The Combat Air Patrol shot down sixteen, including six by SAN JACINTO fighters, and two were shot down within the-forma- tion by anti-aircraft fire. Two of our destroyers on picket duty were hit by suiciders. At noon on the 15th, five minutes of silent prayer were observed during the funeral services for the late President ROOSEVELT and the colors of all ships were half-mastedi Although we were at General Quarters Chaplain CORDES held memorial services for the president over the ship's loud- speaker system. . J I Fighter sweeps were launched against KIKAI in the North- ern NANSEI SHOTO and KANOYA on Southern KYUSHU on the l5th,.our planes destroying twenty grounded enemy aircraft and damaging ground installations. The destroyer TAUSSIG shot down an enemy-plane snooping the formation after nightfall. I I . The Japs reacted to the invasion of IE SHIMA, 16 April, by Staglng heavy raids on the American forces. Combat Air Patrols shot- down scores of enemy planes, SAN JACINTO lighters flestmldfig fourteen, including one twin-engine bomber carry- lng a suicide piloted BAKA flying bomb. Some enemy planes broke through to attack the ships. A dive-bomber made a sur- prise attack from cloud cover on the SAN .JACINTO but its bomb failed to release and we shot it down as it pulled out of 1 1 5 fu k., :t-,T-J.-.-V ..-.-.,...,.,.,..-,.,,,.,-.-...,..,...,.,.,.,.,, .

For the next week and a half operations were pretty much routinejas B-29 neutralization raids on KYUSHU airflelds cut enemy raids down to a nuisance scale and Task Force p-FIFTY- EIGHT shifted its efforts to support missions for the TENTH Army. ' I On 27 April our Task Group commenced retirement toward ULITHI and dropped anchor there on 30 April, after forty- eight consecutive days at sea. . On l May, Rear Admiral J. J. CLARK, our Task Group Commander, paid the ship 'an official visit and presented awards to our departing Air Group FORTY-FIVE. During their tour of duty aboard the SAN JACI-NTO led by their skipper, Commander G. E. SCHECTER, and Acting Group Commander, Lieut. L. E. FORKNER, ,and paced by colorful Killer CAIN fthe ace of the Hghter squadron with eight and one-half enemy planes downed in combatj, they had compiled an impressive record. They had shot down eighty-three enemy planes in the air, sunk three naval units, two cargo vessels, and numerous small craft, and inflicted vast damage against enemy aircraft and installations. They won 3 Navy Crosses, 3.Silver Stars, 79 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 219 Air Medals, 1 Navy and Marine Corps Medal and 3 Purple Hearts. . Air Group FORTY-NINE, Commanded by Lt. Comdr. G. M. ROUZEE, USN, reported aboard for duty on 2 May 1945. On 6 May our former Commanding Officer, Rear Admiral H. fM. MARTIN, was a welcome guest aboard. The SAN JACINTO lay at anchor through 7 May, makingnpreparations for return to sea and taking maximum advantageof the op- portunity for recreation ashore for the weary crew. , We sortied on 8 May for a day's intensive training exercises with the new Air Group, setting a ship record of one hundred and forty-five landings in one day, marred only by three mis- haps involving no injury to personnel and the operational loss of only one plane. - . The other units of our Fast Carrier Task Group sortied on the 9th and we set course to return to the vicinity of OKI- NAWA. On arrival in the area on 12 May, SAN JACINTO plzhres. participated in sweeps over TOKUNO. No airborne opposition was encountered but our new airmen got their first taste of anti-aircraft llre as they strafed and rocketed ground installations. S. Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT steamed northward to launch strikes against enemy airflelds on KYUSHU on 13 and 14 May. SAN JACINTO planes flew seventy-four sorties on each of the two days, meeting no airborne opposition over the targets as they destroyed or damaged twenty grounded enemy aircraft, manysmall craft- and' numerous ground installations. Only a few enemy aircraft approached the Force on the 13th and they were easily handled by the fighter patrols. Early on the 14th, about fifty enemyplanes made a determined attack. Most were intercepted and destroyed by the Combat Air,Patrols, but two got through to attack our Task Group. A suicider diving on a destroyer was hit by the concentrated fire on many ships and exploded in mid-air above the destroyer. The second plane dove on the SAN JACINTO but hits from our guns and those of our support ships deflected it early in its dive and it crashed in flames wide of its mark. if We recovered ten of the stricken ENTERPRISES planes, reserviced them and launched them to later land aboard an- other large carrier. The Task Force retired southward on the 15th for a relatively quiet week-long period, during which only a single routine strike was launched Qon the l9thj against TOKUNO.

The pilot of one, Ensign C. P. THORNE, was not recovered and was declared missing in action. Thepilot of the other was picked up unhurt. On 23 May our fighters attacked AMAMI ,O SHIMA, sink- ing a small cargo ship and destroying harbor installations. On the 24th, the force launched sweeps against S0uth6rIl KYUSHU. but SAN JACINTO planes did not participate, flying Combat Air Patrol instead, with negative results. The enemy made heavy attacks on the OKINAWA area on 25 May, through extremely bad weather. Only three enemy planes reached the vicinity of Task Force QFIFTY-EIGHT though the Amphibious Forces were attacked in force. All three were shot down by patrols, two .of .them by SAN JA- CINTO planes-representing the new Air Group's Hrst kills.f' The Task Force retired southward on 27 May and at mid- night Commander Third Fleet assumed tactical command, re- lieving Command FIFTH Fleet. Task Force FIFTY-EIGHT thereupon became Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT. On 28 May, Commander Second Carrier Task Force relieved Commander First Carrier Task Force as Commander Task Force THIRTY- EIGHT and we returned to OKINAWA to furnish support missions for the TENTH Army on OKINAWA on that date and the next two days, all routine and uneventful. ' Support missions were flown through bad weather on. l and 3 june. Those scheduled for 2 June were diverted by the un- favorable target weather to MINAMI DAITO SHIMA, wheref -Al the airfield and ground installations were bombed and rock- eted. Anti-aircraft fire was most intense and two planes were damaged, one Avenger crewman being seriously wounded. The weather steadily deteriorated on 4 june as Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT retired to the southeast in an attempt. to clear the cyclonic area. On 5 June a typhoon struckthe Force in mounting fury. The storrn was the most severe ever experi- enced by this ship, surpassing in intensity, though not in dura- tion, that of 18 December 1944. The wind reached a velocity of ninety-seven knots and the seas were confused and moun- tainous. Nearly every ship in the Force sustained some dam- age, the bow of the PITTSBURGH being torn off, the DULUTH .suffering serious structural damage forward, the HORNET and BENNINGTON having their forward flight decks rolled up like paper. We had made thorough preparaig tions the night before and, applying the lessons we learned in the.December typhoon, rode out the storm comfortably by lying to with the seas on our starboard bow and the wind' on the starboard beam,'using the engines only for steering, going ahead on the starboard engines, backing on the port, there'by saving the ship from the disastrous rolling which light carriers ,with their topheavy tendencies and great sail surface are sub- ject to in the trough. The minor damages we sustained were quickly repaired by the ship's company. - ' Q The scattered Force collected itself on 6 June and on 7 June returned to the support of OKINAWA with an uneventful Combat Air Patrol schedule. V . 8 june saw all carriers in the Force combine in an all-out fighter-bomber sweep against KANOYA airheld on KYUSHU: Fragmentation bombs were dropped and damage inflicted was heavy, though haze and smoke prevented accurate tabulation. Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT retired toward LEYTE 'on 9 Junfxipausing to make experimental Napalm drops and test the efliciency of a new type bomb fuse, by special strikes against OKINI DAITO SHIMA onthe 9th and 10th. On 10 june, for the llrst and only time in the history of the ship, we heard the call, Man Overboard. Robert E. DIAMOND, MM2c, lost hlf footing during fueling operations and plunged into the briny deep. A destroyer quickly fished him out, pasted 21 2 . --. fn- ,-.- .-.-,- .-.f.....,..,.,.,.., , -v-. - .. ..

The ship was rearmed, refueled, andtreprovisioned. Maintenance and upkeep. work was undertaken and the old girl was given a thorough cleaning and painting job.

The Task Force immediately began an intensive series of training exercises during the passage northward to the vicinity of Central HONSHU. On 9 July a high speed run-in to the launching area, southeast of TOKYO, was commenced. Our planes took off at dawn on the 10th to catch the enemy by complete surprise and sweep his airfields almost at will. Wide dispersal and clever camoufiage prevented a higher toll than might otherwise have been taken, but SAN JACINTO planes destroyed 13 grounded enemy aircraft, damaged 14 others, and infiicted considerable damage on ground installations. Enemy counter-action was nil, a lone reconnaissance plane being shot down by fighter patrols well clear of the Force. The Task Force retired, at high speed, and proceeded north- ward to attack the HOKKAIDO-NORTH HONSHU area on 14 and 15 July. Weather, ever the important factor in this area, closed in most of the airfields, forcing our aircraft to targets of opportunity. Buildings, and rolling stock in the towns of OBIHIRO and KUSHIRO, and minor shipping in NEMURO WAN were struck heavily both days, with consider- able damage resulting. On 16 July, in waters east of HONSHU, Task Force THIRTY-EIGHT. was joined by Task Force THIRTY- SEVEN, the combatant units of the British Pacific Fleet, who were to be our welcome colleagues for the entire balance of the operation. - An abortive attempt to strike the TOKYO PLAINS area on the 17th was cancelled after the only strike launched was forced by extremely foul weather to discharge their bomb .loads at targets of opportunity with negligible results. The morning of the 18th found the weather still unfavor- able, but it began to clear in the afternoon when an all-out strike was launched against the battleship NAGATAO, moored at YOKOSUKA Naval Base. SAN JACINTO aircraft partici- pated, but because of the number of planes involved and the pall of smoke shrouding the target, it was difficult to assign credit forithe damage. The net result was a bad mauling for the NAGATO, sufficient to keep her from the battle line for many months to come. The combined Task Forces cruised int waters south of HON- SHU from the 19th through the 23rd. On the 24th, strikes in force were launched over a wide area from KURE to NA- GOYA, naval shipping at the former being the primary target. Overcast weather at the targetureduced the effectiveness of our attacks,but SAN JACINTO planes shot down four intercepting fighters, destroyed four grounded enemy bombers at NAGOYA, and scored damaging hits on the carrier AMAGI. X The attacks' were continued on the morning of the 25th, despite the poor weather which later forced. cancellation of the scheduled afternoon attacks. Only a handful of planes got through to the target, and most were forced to' targets of op- portunity. Two SAN JACINTO planes were among those which did get through, and one scored a direct bomb hit on the bridge of the ISE, a battleship which had been partially converted to an aircraft carrier. .A-.1-N - .5 -- . ,. -Y .,.,. ...,. - ,.---,. ----.,W.,...,..,, M,...,wa m,m,,,. . 0 -----A1-1... 1-1- ,nv - u-.--. 'v---s.-VV.-v-.. - -'fv-'11-fr The enemy's feeble counter-attacks were easily handled by the Force fighter patrols, two reconnaissance planes being shot down on the 24th, and six mixed recgnnaissance and torpedo planes being intercepted and destroyed on the 25th. No strikes were made on the 26th and '27th, but 28 july brought fair weather and the Task Force made the most'Qf it, humbling the once proud ships of the Imperial Navy into use-I less battered hulks. The converted battleships ISE and HYUGA were left resting on the bottom, the light cruiser OYODA capsized, the battleship :HARUNA beached with heri bow smashed, the carriers AMAGI and KATSURAGI still afloat but gutted and with most of their flight decks. missing, an obsolescent heavy cruiser beached and on her .beam ends, and a KOBE type escort carrier heavily damaged. SAN JACINTQ planes contributed several direct' hits on the ISE and AOBA as their part of this wholesale carnage, also destroying or daml aging ten enemy aircraft Aon the ground at AKENO-GAHARA. There were no attacks on the'29th, but on the 30th, heavy strikes were launched against airfields and installations inthe TOKYO-NAGOYA area. Our planes destroyed thirteen grounded enemy aircraft, set a large freighter afire, and dam! aged miscellaneous ground installations. ' V Continued bad weather caused an unplanned recess inthe operation from 31 July until 8 August, as the Task Force maneuvered to escape the path of a persistent typhoon. A 8 August found us in position to launch strikes against HOKKAIDO, but extremely unfavorable flying weather caused the cancellation of all scheduled operations. On the 9th the weather cleared, and our planes 'took off against shipping targets at ONAGAWA WAN where smallcraft were sunk and damaged. Installations on nearby airfields were hit effectively. The 10th of August is bound to go down as one of the SANS JACINTO'S most notable days in the air. The Task Group Commander was not guilty of understatement when he re- ported that we had hit the jackpot. Our assigned targets that day were airfields in North Central HONSHU, and the first strike in the morning started out to be a routine affair. Very few aircraft were noted on the first field, and a small part of our ammunition took care of them. At this point our planes decided to go down on the deck -altitudes of less than 500s feet-to see what they could see. They did this, braving pos- sible anti-aircraft fire which is more lethal at such altitudes than higher up, Q and they saw plenty! At-low altitudes our pilots could discern innumerable enemy planes whose clever camouflage kept them from being detected at higher altitudes. The enemy apparently never suspected that these planes would- be detected, because no anti-aircraft fire developed. Our pilots burned and destroyed everything in sight and gave arepeat performance at two other airfields, taking photographs all the time. When the pictures were developed they indicated that there were many more untouched aircraft at these fields than had appeared -at first. Our find was deemed so important that the Task Group Commander ordered strikes launched in the afternoon from every carrier in our group and, the crdwning honor, he designated Lieutenant C. H. PETERS, our Torpedo Squadron Skipper, to lead the combined strikes. , The SAN JACINTO alone accounted for 78 planes destroyed on that one day, and for 7l additional probably destroyed or f A ww ,,,,,,,,,,m-,mein -Q , W I ,,,,,Wv vw N 1 - ...v-.....,......,-.,.-..-cfm-.-......,-...-............ . .. -. ...,... . . .. . -N . . . .

Some months before when the number of Jap planes en- countered in the air and seen on the ground began to dimin- ish the question was asked Where are they hiding them? It was a widely accepted theory that out of the way fields in North HONSHU were being utilized to conceal the better part of the Jap airforce so that it would be available to meet our invasion forces whenever they might come. It remained for the SAN JACINTO to prove the validity of that theory. It was on this occasion that we were nrst given the name of The Little Giant The llth and 12th were spent refueling and replenishing ammunition and supplies. On the 13th we went back in to strike airiields and industrial targets in the TOKYO area. We followed the same tactics as on the 10th, our pilots going in low, with almost as good results. Sixty-nine enemy aircraft were destroyed and an additional twenty-four more were prob- ably destroyed or damaged. Extensive damage was also Hicted on airfield installations and industrial targets. Late in the afternoon a number of enemy planes began to close the Force and the SAN JACINTO launched an emergency patrol to intercept them. One of our lighter pilots shot down one enemy plane. . On the 14th we retired out of range to refuelhand await the outcome of peace rumors, meanwhile remaining doubly alert lest the Japs practice any of their well-known treachery. And the 15th is a separate story by itself. ' Officers and men have spirited volleyball games on the forward elevator U in port and underway when operating conditions permit.

Ss 7' CHAPTER X ' 1,5 AUGUST-v1CToRv DAY at OTHIN G having developed in regard tothe peace rumors of the previous day it was decided to keep on carrying the war to the enemy with everything we had. And so it was that on the day which would go down in history as Victory Day, the SAN JACINTO launched two early morning strikes within a short interval of time against the TOKYO area. Our first strike reached the coast where it met up with a group of about 20 Jap lighters. Our pilots shot down 7 and damaged 2, the other Jap planes being accounted for by planes from another carrier. This air battle had hardly been completed and our sec- ond strike wasestill on the way when the order to cease offensive action was given, the second strike jettisoned their bombs and returned to the ship. Our actions on 15 August were such that we will never be accused of quitting the war early. We were lighting up to the very last minute and we shot down seven enemy planes prac- tically at the last minute. It was a Fitting climax to a long and illustrious combat career-we had never pulled our punches It is hard to describe just how the SAN JACINTO to the news, announced by the Captain, that the war was There was a momentary feeling of elation and a very feeling of relief and, then, there was a sense of numbness' of emptiness. Total war is so horrible that the people in it became unable, after a time, to think except in terms total war. When it is over they have a diflicult time in themselves to a new order of things And in was with a real 8 - . sense of thanksgiving and devotion that-all heads were bowedi as the Chaplain led us in prayer. p f ' 1 We did not have long to analyze ourvfeelings because enemy aircraft, either not knowing or caring that the war was over, began to come in close and we manned battle stations as we had daily for all the preceding days of the war. The Force patrols quickly took care of the intruders and we were troubled no more. , The war was over. And now the skill and energies of ollicers and crew, which for sixteen long months had been directed, day and night toward the defeat of the enemy, could be turned' and we didn't pull them on Victory Day. to the less exciting but more profitable pursuits of peace.

They were hoping to go back to the United States for a period of routine avail- ability at a Navy yard and almost in the same breath they wanted to be in at the kill. The desire to go back was always tempered by a fear of missing something. As our date of de- parture from the forward area was postponed again, and again we became impatient,'little realizing that both of our dreams were destined to come true in the very near future. In the early part of August the SAN JACINTO was momen- tarily expecting orders to proceed to the United States. It was at this time that the atomic bomb made its appearance and crystalized the desire of the japanese to end the war. The increasing tempo of thel Army and Navy aerial attacks, the destruction of the last remnants of the japanese Navy, the shore bombardments by the THIRD FLEET, the military reverses abroad, then the atomic bomb. These were the step- pingstones to the surrender Offer. As soon as the surrender became a certainty it was imperative that all available naval strength .be massed to counter any resistance or treachery On the part of the Japanese people. The SAN jACINTO'S departure plans were cancelled and we prepared to take part in the capitulation we had helped bring about. ' V - R I ' I A At the time hostilities ceased the job of occupying japanese home islands loomed very large and Admiral Halsey gave orders. for each fieet unit to begin training and equipping a landing force of bluejackets and Marines. From 16 August on-the ship's whole energies were directed towards getting our landing force ready. There were periodsof-drilling, forlec- tures, for the thousand and one things a landing force must know and be able to do. VVe had an automotive group- specialists in land transportationg we had a boat pool group- men to, direct the Operationtof small crafty we had the regular landing force- to carry out such orders as mighit be given, and we had the Marines. -As it turned out only our Marines were called for. They left the ship on 19 August for temporary duty with the First Battalion Marine Landing Force. We will hear more of them later. -Up to 21 August the SAN JACINTO had had three Air Groups-FIFTY-ONE, FORTY-FIVE and FORTY-NINE. On 21 August we received orders to transfer Air Group FORTY-NINE to the 'ULS.S. BATAAN, our sister CVL, and to, take aboard Air Group FORTY-SEVEN from that ship. Thus we got our fourth Air Group. On 22 August our new Air Group participated' in a mass flight of THIRD FLEET planes that Covered the sky for a long period of time. Admiral HALSEY wanted enough visible air strength to impress the japanese people should any untoward reaction to our landings take place. 'On the 24th we received our third Commanding Officer- Captain Hugh H. GOODWIN, USN. He was not a stranger, having come aboard on 22 july and having- been the Prosv pective Commanding Officer for several weeks before assuming command. .For the change of Command Ceremonies all hands were at fquarters on the flight deck and a personnel inspection was held by both relieved and relieving Captains. Captain Michael H. KERNODLE, our second Commanding Officer, left the ship by plane during the afternoon. .......-..-, ,-.- .,.,,.. ,,.,,.L.L,-..: - A --- -.......,..,.,. .,.,,a, - - qAt-,.,.-,.,,,-,c,,......,......, . -W-.........,.,.....:,..-., 'We -'-N A WA- - -.,.,...,... ... --....-.,..a-.-...-,... .51--1.,..-...,...,,,,..-K-.vf..,.,A,, , .,-., -1- ,,,W.-,-w.., V ,KH Q I g T -A .i L.: it . -R . 1... -- - .....- , JD- .... ....5... . -1 . -.. .... .I W... .,,-f-Y,1'... .--..:,,i',:.:. :::,J,A?Z: On 25 August we began a series of patrols over prisoner of war camps in Central and Western HONSHU and in HOK- KAIDO. These patrols continued through the 30th and from the 28th through the 30th bundles were dropped for the pris- oners Of war. These bundles contained food, medical supplies, toilet articles, books and magazines and were designed to ease the prisoners' distress untilhthey could be taken aboard ships for repatriation. On the 28th Lt. V. D. BURSICK of the new Air Group made the 12,000th landing aboard. ,This event was fittingly celebrated with a cake and party in the wardroom a few days later. The 29th found usilaunching 48 planes to meet-one of the heaviest air schedules of the month. Our planes flew observation patrols in many different areas, including ATSUGI Airfield near TOKYO. iOn the 30th one of .Our fighter planes was forced down on YOKOSUKA Airfield, also near TOKYO. The pilot, Lt. fj.g.j R. M. WALLACE, attached himself to our Marines as soon as they landed and returned to the ship with them. 1 ' On 31 August our Marine Detachment landed at YOKO- SUKA and was assigned to patrol the sea wall there. They had been on a transport since leaving us on the 19th andthe transport brought them into SAGAMIBAY on the 30th to be ready for the landings of the 3lst. They remained ashore until 2 September when they were again loaded aboard a transport and returned to the SAN JACINTO. y ,I All during the latter part of August itappeared that we would return to the United States asisoon as the surrender had taken place and preparations were made accordingly. On the 27th we receivedour first batch of passengers whomi we were to carry back with us. On 31 August we were officially detachedifrom Task Group THIRTY-EIGHT POINT ONE and were ordered to proceed with two destroyers southward to rendezvous with a replenishing .group and the ships that' were going back with us. I , -I The occasion of our parting from Task -Group THIRTY- EIGHTAPOINT ONE was one of sorrow as well as of joy. The circumstances are best expressed by an exchange of messages which took place on 31 August between this ship and the Task Group Commander: I ' FROM THE SAN JACINTO TO CTG 38.1: ' THE SAN JACINTO HAS OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY AS A UNIT OF THE FAST CARRIER TASK FORCES SINCE MAY 1944.

OUR BEST WISHES FOLLOW HER IAS SHE PARTS COMPANY HOMEWARD BOUND. WELL DONE TO A GALLANT SHIP. f On 2 September we made our appointed rendezvous and received our second group of passengers. Toward evening our Marine Detachment came back aboard with some tall stories to tell about how they invaded JAPAN. They were glad to return and we were glad to have them because each group was afraid the other would not be on hand when the trip home started. All of the officers and men had been with us from pre-Shakedown days and it was only right that they should share in the ship's good fortune. On the 3rd we officially began the trip back and our Homeward Bound Pennant was streamed. Many of the earmarks of wartime operation had disappeared and two others were soon to follow. Morning and evening General Quafters were a thing of the past and soon gun watches and darken ship would also cease. Movies were held every night, usually preceded by the ship's orchestra. Every morning and afternoon there were ngews broadcasts over the public address system with now and then a feature such as an interview with two of the returned Marines. A Pay Day was held and all hands began to draw off part of the S750,000 which had accumulated on the Disbursing OFficer's books 'dur- ing the sixteen-month cruise. The trip back was uneventful except that it was made direct by the Great Circle Route and took us rather far north and into considerably colder air and waters, than we had experi-. enced since the first strikes on TOKYO in February. There was a little disappointment that we did not stop at PEARL HARBOR but everyone was very much in favor of our fast trip back-less than two weeks from the coast of HONSI-IU to the coast of CALIFORNIA. It was on the morning of the 14th, seventeen months to the day since we had left San Diego in April, 1944, that we looked out and there on the horizon was CALIFORNIA, Uncle Sugar, the United States!

They will tell of gunners and boatswains and Marines repelling flaming death at their battle stations but you won t hear of how those same men suddenly become deckhands and swab jockeys on the off days when the ship was replenishing and rearming and refueling.

A Naval Acad- emy graduate of the class of 1921, his experience in this war prior to coming to the SAN JACINTO was both varied and interesting. When the war started he was at sea off BERMUDA as Air Officer on the old WASP. He served aboard the WASP from that time until she was lost in the South Pacific in September, 91942 as a result of enemy action. Consequently he was aboard the WASP when she sortied into the MEDITERRANEAN to take planes and supplies to the relief of beleaguered MALTA and when she supported the invasion of GUADALCANAL. Following the sinking of the WASP, Captain FKERNODLE became the' first Commanding Officer of the Naval Air Station on GUADALCANAL.
