ing exercises they left on June 13
for Leyte in the Philippines.
They left on July 1 on their
first mission—as part of an es
cort carrier group to provide air
cover for an important task force
in the East China Sea. They
steamed north, passed off For
mosa and on the 3rd day joined
up with battlewagons, cruisers
and plenty of destroyers. It was
so hot “an egg could have been
fried on the catwalk.”
There weie two squadrons on
the Cape—fighter and torpedo
bomber planes. The pilots and
service crews are Marines. On
the second day of the mission en
emy planes appeared and one of
the pilots got a Jap plane.

the Cape ran away from a ty
phoon and although hit some of
the heavy seas missed the brunt
of it. On July 23 two pilots got
two more Jap planes.
Later the planes took off for a
stike at enemy shipping of the
China coast—but couldn’t find a
single enemy ship or barge.
After another 3-day race with
a typhoon and another Jap trans
port plane downed by one of the
pilots, the pilots joined in a strike
against some Jap-held harbor
and airfield on the East China
coast. The planes scored 20 dir
ect hits with rockets on a cargo
vessel lying off shore. A couple
of planes were slightly damaged
but both made 3-point landings
on deck. This wound up the mis
sion and the Cape earned a
“well done” from Admiral Nim
itz for the work.
Just 3 days before “cease hos
tilities” order was given a war
ship near the Cape was hit by an
aerial torpedo and later a Jap
plane dropped a bomb on a
transport in the area.
One of the highlights of the
cruise was gunnery practice in
the East China Sea, right in Hir
ohito’s back yard. Planes pulled '
sleeve targets and the gunners j
opened up with everything from ;
the smallest anti-aircraft to the j
battleship’s biggest one®. This
was done several times as “there
was nothing more substantial to
fire at.”
Danny adds that “recent days
have given us a chance to do
much painting.” The Cape was
retting a new coat of wartime
»ray, inside and out. Also, the
boilers were being cleaned and
all the machinery given a check
ing over for the next assignment.
Danny closes by saying ‘ I’ve
enjoyed every bit of the cruise,
and hope to stay on her for qui'e
some time yet. That, is until we
come back to the States. By the
time you get this I’ll probably
56 in Tokyo bay.”
