Fighter burns after crash landing. OPERATION T wo. ' Admiral McCain's force sortied Ulithi on May 24th, under the old Task Group 58.4 designation, and laid a course for the operating area off Okinawa. Joining up with the fueling units off Okinawa, the force combined with Task Group 58.3, Admiral Mitscher's First Carrier Task Force. While other units fueled and provisioned from supply ships, Admiral Mitscher transferred from the Randolph to a destroyer and thence to the Shangri-La by means of a boatswain's chair suspended between the two ships as they steamed in formation. Retiring to Admiral lVlcCain's sea cabin, the two famous, winged warriors exchanged plans and information before the formal change of com- mand and fleet designation. Task Force 58 was officially changed to Task Force 38 at midnight, May 27th. During the mid-watch the strong, friendly forces began to- appear in the southeastern sector of the Shangri-La radar grid. By sunrise the screen was filled with orderly pips as lookouts made out the big Missouri, flagship of Admiral W. F. Halsey, surrounded by the remaining units of the Third Fleet. fupper leftj Navy air strikes at Okinawa. fcenter leftl Iwo Beach after assault. flower left? Battleship Wisconsin at sea.

The Shangrz'-La's Hrst strike against Kyushu airfnelds met with fierce and experi- enced enemy patrols. Hitting airflelds at Kagoshima, Chiran, and Izumi, the returning planes spotted two downed Yorktown planes off lbusuki. Orbiting above the fallen flyers, they were jumped by twenty or thirty Jap planes manned by top enemy pilots.
