The magni tude f the disaster was not real ized until one of her airplanes which was in the air at the time shi was hit landed on our flight deck before her gas ran out. That night we heard Kadio Tokyo announce they had sunk instantaneously ti Essex Class Carriers and 10 battleships. We were quite sound and happy, and wondered how the Jap peo ple could swallow such atrocious lies. . . The invasion of Okinawa Okin-awa commenced on April 1, and there by began an operation which kept us at sea for 70 days. The planes of Air Group 82 became be-came flying artillery for the troops who were landing and combat air patrols to keep the Jap airplanes away. . On April 7, the Jap battleship Yamato was searched out and sunk, Bennington Ben-nington planes playing a key role in her destruction. . . . "At 0659 on the morning of May 14, a single engined Jap plane was seen tagging along be hind 3 F6F's, about 8 miles away coming up on our port quarter. Only a destroyer and a cruiser lay between the Nip and our ship. At 12,000 yards, the Hellcats Hell-cats turned on the enemy and failed to splash him. By this time he was about 1000 feet high and coming in straight for our ship. Our 5 inch guns finally opened up at 3000 yards range and immediately got a direct hit; as shell, gas tank and bomb exploded simultaneously. Not long afterward we had two other unusual experiences. During Dur-ing AA firing practice a target drone plane was hit by our gun's fire, and like a Kamikaze, it crashed into the ship at the water line. The same day, the bow of the Bennington was struek a sneak blow by a whale. He was impaled on our bow for several hours, until the ship had a chance to back down and free the carcass. "On June 5th we had an experience ex-perience the memory of which will long live with us. A tussle with a Typhoon. We had run away fsom the storm for the pre-ceeding pre-ceeding 24 hours, but with no avail. The typhoon overtook us at daybreak, and the center of the storm passed in our vicinity at between 0700 and 0800. It was like being in on the end of the world. The winds were terrific, ter-rific, at times reaching 90 knots, which was as high as our instruments instru-ments would register. The waves were mountainous, liteially reaching 40 to 50 feet in height from trough to crest. It was almost al-most a blackout; we could see only a few hundred yards. The big "B" moaned and groaned and sometimes if felt as though the ship was tearing apart. Until noon the storm raged, then began be-gan to subside. Gradually the sea and the ship got back to normal. When we had a chance to investigate, we found that approximately 35 feet of our flight deck had buckled and hung over the bow like a squashed squash-ed pancake and that both our catapulys were damaged. . . . Seaman Fox tells of the summer sum-mer fighting activities after the boat was repaired, then "Little did any of us dream that this was destined to be our last combat offensive, and our visions hardly hard-ly dwelt on more than a mythical mythi-cal date in the future when the fanatical enemy would be beaten beat-en completely. Then things began be-gan to happen with a bang. Our equilibrium was disturbed but wonderfully News that Russia declared war against Japan reached us early on the morning of August 9. Almost immediately immedi-ately the mind staggering a-tomic a-tomic bombs were let loose on the Nips homeland. Surrender rumors began to be heard on radio news programs. August 15 was a hectic day At 1301 Admiral Halsey broadcast news of the Jap surrender. A few minutes afterwards, a Kamikaze was seen and immediately shot down by our air patrol. Tense ness kept up all the rest of the day, even though it was fated to be the last day pf active com-bat com-bat for our ship. During the afternoon all the ships in the group broke out their battle flags signifying the cessation of hostilities. "Except for the knowledge that the fighting part of the war is over and the fact that we can now at least tangibly count on getting back home within a reasonable time, life aboard goes on uninterrupted. . . We still remember Pearl Harbor. Our ship, together with other combatant units, hovers off the Empire coast and is providing needed air support for the oc cupation landings.
