ef Gut' projectiles were seen actually hitting the as well as bursting near him, but he kept coming. the end of his dive he pulled out, several tlxousand from the ship, and pressed his attack in a low The forties and twenties opened up, adding their hits 120 those of the main battery. Still he came, held up g by God only knows what! Plot reported, Range against the stops! The advance range was zero-we were tiring point-blank. -l0mm projectiles were pouring into the engine, The twenties were hitting him everywhere. Five inch bursts surrounded him. And still he came. VVe braced ourselves for the crash . . . But it never came. At only 1800 yards-10 seconds before he would have hit- his left wing was knqcked off. The Val rolled over onto his side and his right wing hit the water. XVith a blinding flash and a great pall of smoke, the plane exploded, throwing a geyser of water into the air. Relief escaped our lungs as we relaxed and wiped our brows. Chalk up another for the Sassy Shannon! By 1410, the sweeping operations were completed. WVe returned to Hagushi. ' The following week was spent in uneventful operations as part of the Hagushi AA screen, conducting fueling, and in availability alongside the tender Cascade in Kerama Retto, to prepare for the coming East China Sea sweeps.

TURNOVER IN COMMAND June 10, while the ship lay at anchor in Kerama Retto, the crew was gathered on the boat deck to witness the turnover of command of the Shannon. Everyone hated to see Captain Foster leave, although we were all glad that he was going to get a well-deserved rest and shore duty. Lieutenant Com- mander Ingram's reputation had preceeded him, so we knew that in VVild Bill, as he was affectionately known in bull sessions, we were getting a fine new captain. Before turning over the Shannon to her new skipper, Captain Foster addressed his men: W'e've been through a lot together on the 'Sassy Shannon'. It was only nine months ago yesterday when we gathered together on this ship for the first time. Men from all parts of the nation, many of you putting to sea for the first time. I told you at that time that our battle efficiency depended on the spirit of teamwork, that each man must learn his job, and that all efforts should lead to one purpose-to make the Shannon the fightin'est ship in the Navy. I'm proud to say that you haven't let me down. The gun- ners have stuck by their guns, the engineers by their throttles, the CIC personnel, the repair parties, the communication gang, and bridge personnel have all done an outstanding job with the result that we have handled every assignment our Navy or the Japs have given us. U1 can thank you only in words for your loyalty and your splendid performance, but I won't forget and the nation won't forget what you have done. The memories of these past few months will be with me forever. It is hard to leave a ship and a crew with which one has been so close and on whom one has been so dependent, but that is the way progress is made. I had command of a ship before, so the Navy drew on my experience to start the 'Sassy Shannon' on her career. Now it is time to pass along a well seasoned ship and an experienced and efficient crew to new hands-to introduce new ideas. I depend on you to give Captain lngram the same fine support you have given me so that the Shannon-my ship and your ship-may ever fly her colors proudly with the best, and that you, my men, will always hold your heads high with pride in your accomplishments. XVhen Gunner Koerner left, he gave me this four-leafed clover saying: 'You'll need this more than I will.' I am passing this to Captain Ingram as the ship's good luck piece, but the real reascn for the Shannon's luck is your own skill and the kindness of God Almighty. May he continue to guard you and guide you. Remember your 'Uncle Ed' will not forget you, and I'll always be looking for news of the Shannon and her men. Goodbye and good luck. 53 5 1

After a momentary t f C breathing spell,two more X ' were upon us in what ap- fa . I 4 A I, . . peared to be l'.llVC-lJO1llJ- ' - ,K ing runs-one direct at ,f X . T j -ig, , I 'Z :W the Shannon the other l 'f .- 'A ' at the Smith. Our vio- ' N px K ' lent maneuvers and with- - fr- . - 1 N ermg volume of fire X seemed to spoil their X K aim for they pulled out N early and their missiles fell harmlessly into the g, 5 'N s ea. Woke: ? As we were catching our breath again, a Betty was picked up, coming in from the port quarter, low on the water. ,lust after we had commenced firing, the radar operator noticed another plane following the first, about one or two thousand yards behind him. The first plane was the most threatening at the moment, so control stayed on him. He maneuvered very little, making it easy to keep him on our beam. IVhen he had gotten in to two miles, he suddenly turned off, flew up on the port side, and then turned out. The moment the first plane broke off his run, the second became the more threatening of the two. Combat immediately and franticly sent this information up to control, and gave them the ranges and bearings necessary to pick up the second plane. The reaction and teamwork was excellent. Control shifted to the second plane, which was maneuvering to get astern of us, and was on him in a very few seconds, missing only one salvo in the process. This plane, however, was so close when we started shooting at him that only a few salvos could be put out before he was on top of us. He was apparently not interested in becoming a suicide hero for the Emperor, but merely flew over the ship, fortunately for us. When he had opened to about 4000 yards, he suddenly disappeared from the radar screen and from sight. We presumed that he crashed, having been hit by our fire. Just before that plane disappeared, the ominous, phosphor- escent wake of a torpedo was sighted, passing about ten yards ahead of the bow. This we assumed to be the Ufishy' dropped by the first plane. Again the Luck of the Irish was with her native daughter, the Shannon. When traveling ati30 knots, ten yards is not very comfortable clearance for a torpedo. During the next few minutes, several planes made rung on us, but most of them were driven off before they closed the ship, None inflicted any damage. At 0141 we ceased firing. All the attackers had been re- pelled. Those that were still airborne had become discouraged and headed for home. Several other raids-enough to keep the condition Flash Red, and keep the ship at general quarters-closed the area, but none approached our station close enough to be taken under fire. During the night's actions, we expended 856 rounds of tive inch ammunition, 385 rounds of 40 mm, and 808 rounds of 20 mm ammunition, accounting for two sures, two assists, and three probables. In addition, several enemy planes could not be accounted for, and, therefore, could not be claimed. The action moved too fast to be accurately recorded. At the time, we were too busy to care. The Van Valkenburgh CDD 6563 arrived on R.P. 16 at 0839, relieving the Shannon so that she could return to Kerama Retto for fuel and ammo. The rest of the 28th and most of the 29th were spent in this occupation. Later on May 29, the ship was ordered to her familiar old station-155-A-in support of the anti-small boat screen. Vile remained there throughout the night, but then the next day returned to Kerama Retto to prepare for a coming sweep operation which we were to support. 52 Admiral Halsey had relieved Adrniral Spruance on May 27 and assumed eoinmand of all former liifth lileet units. At that time, we became a member of the Third Fleet, and Task l:',,,-CQ, Group, and Unit designations were changed aqcgrdingly but the current tactical organization was otherwise unaffected, IHEYA SHIMA SWEEP AND OCCUPATION ln the evening of May 31, the ship moved to the Northwest Anchorage, where we joined Task Unit 32.54, of which Comin- Div 7 fCapt. liarrowj because FOP.-X. CTU 32.5.4 was in the Staunch CAM 3071. lVe got underway at 2139 in company with the Henry A. VViley QDM 292. six AM's, and two Pfiwls At 0300, as we neared the objective, the Task Unit was ordered to turn around and proceed to I-Iagushi Anchorage. The operation had been post- poned because of an expected large scale air attack the next morning. The next night we tried again. At 2116 the Task Unit was formed and enroute to Iheya Retto for the operation which had been postponed. This time it was only an hour before we were ordered to reverse course and return to Kerama Retto, anticipating the same large enemy air attack which had failed to materialize that morning. Again the attack did not come, and again we were ordered to the Northwest Anchorage to prepare for another attempt. The third time proved to be the charm! At 0015, June 3, Task Unit 32.5.4 was underway. Three hours and 30 miles later the Destroyer Support Unit joined our formation. Simul- taneously, the transports, loaded with the attack troops, were picked up by radar. Throughout the approach, enemy planes were in the area, but none closed our group. VVe arrived at the objective area, off the southeastern end of Iheya Shima, just before dawn. VVithin an hour, the sweeps had their gear streamed and were conducting exploratory oper- ations, while the VViley and Shannon supported them. At the same time, the Destroyer Support Unit moved in to conduct preliminary bombardment. As soon as the sweeps had passed the designated beaches, the transports moved in to launch the landings. VVhile we were sweeping the waters at the northern end of the island and then down the west coast, many reports of the Dmgress of the troops were received. All seemed to indicate that the resistance was meager and that the operation was being -successfully carried out. This made us wary, for it seemed too easy. Our fears were confirmed by the sounding of the general alarm. Reports from the nearby pickets, at l300, indicated that unusually large enemy raids were closing from the north. These raids were soon picked up on our gear. Some gafltfed up on the pickets, while the largest groups flew on by 10 attack the ships and installations at Okinawa. After f01'l3' minutes of tracking the main raids southward, We Picked UD Hn unidentified plane fifteen miles to the north, Cl0SlI1g.
