Admiral Turner says that we have been erroneously associating the A! Campaign with the 2nd K Campaign. In his opin ion, these will be independent operations, the AF Campaign in volving a relatively heavy striking force, while the 2rxi K Cam paign will use subs ax1 aircraft. 2. Until we have more definite infDrmation oonoerning these two campaigns, the GI Watch Officers will refrain from making comments in the RI Siary which indicate that the A! Cam- paign is a phase or part of the 2nd K Campaign. In the meantime, each Watch Section will make an estimate of the relation, it any, between these two campaigns and put same in my basket. 3. A4zniral Turner also says that CinC 5th FLEEI’ is being erroneously associated with certain units in TI reports, particular- ly from Corn 14. According to Admiral Turner, CinC 5th FLEET cor .responds to a Sea Frontier Coinzander, end as such merely receives reports from all units passing through his area. These reports do not mean that the reporting units are under his coand other wise associated with him. 4. Until sufficient information is available to justify a contrary conclusion (and it may already be in the tiles), we are not to comment in such a way as to indicate that CinC 5th FLEET is to command any force now ooncentratlng in Northern pire Waters, but are to assume that Admiral Turner’s view is correct. If it clearly appears that he is correct, Corn 14 and Belconnen should be 80 advised. It Admiral Turner’s view is erroneous, he will be given the pertinent information by Commander Red.man. 5. Let me have the views of each section on this latter point also. Lt.Comdr., tS ( 01 - ‘.-.. -—-— .—- — — -‘ - — --..---.- • Reproduced.

Admiral Turners’ bell-at that the “A!”,’ or #2 Operations, and the 2nd “K” Campaign are independent operations is not entirely shared by SECTION 1. The chronology of first occurrence of these operations in translations is not entirely lacking in significance, as it indicates that preparations for both are being carried out simulta neously, and there are various indications that them may be coordinated actions between the long range bombing planes of the 4Th AIR ATTACK FORCE end aunarines of the SUBFORCE, and the OCPATION FORCE and other FORCES being assembled at Saipan wider CinC SECOND FLEET; there are also indications that this latter group will, to some extent, also work in cooperation with the SUBFORCE. Some of the translated despatchea, which imply a definite - - coordination of the two FORCES in carrying out different phases of a single Campaign are: 1. SECOND FLEET S #618 of 11 May; This despatch associates the #2 OCCVFATI ON FORCE with the SEC OND FLEET. 2. #1+ AIR AT].ACK FORCE SMS #422 of 13 May; This deepatch, in a sense, associates the #4 AIR ATTACK FORCE with thi DCCt3PATIO’ FORCE. Note Pare. 2 particularly. 3. CinC FIRST AIR FLEET SMS #385 of 16 May; This despatch indicates that there will be cooperation between the JBFORCE J and the FIRST AIR FLEET (CARRIERS) when this FLEET attacks A!. 4. AIRON 14 S #277 of 17 May; This despetch (from a unit of the 4TH AIR ATTACK YORCE() is sound indication of the tie-up between this unit and the A! operation. If SECTION 4 may be permitted the luxury of expressing opinion and indulging in a bit of amateur strategy, we would like to advance our belief that the function of the 4TH AIR ATTkCK FORCE end the aTBFORCE, in the “2nd K-A!” operation, is that of Scoutin, Prelimi nary attack, and possibly Diversion. We believe that theirs is the first phase of the operation, and the result of their part of the opera tion will determine whether the major Task Force will carry out the remaining phases of the operation. 5/20/42 Evidence that CinC 5th Fleet is more than a frontier commander: Corn 14 181906—DI— “Since the #5 RAKU —— rnaru of the 2nd Patrol Boat Group is to be used for patrol of the base area in the A0 area, request you arrange to have ( gun for use against subs, and depth charge equip ment installed ) as soon as possible.” E— (RTEYPED FOR PURPOSE OF CLARITY) c03 -2- 1MO, Cont’d 2. If Admiral Turner, in suggesting that CinC 5th rT is being erroneously associated with certain units, means that he does not believe CinC 5th FLEET is OTC of the forces involved in the Aleutian Operations, then SECTION . again disagrees. There are several indica tions that CinC 5TH FLEET will bethe OTC in this operation end none, so far as we can recall, which indicates that any other officer will be. One the best ani most positive indications that CinC 5TH FLEET will be the OTC in the Aleutian Operation is supplied by CinC 5TH FLEET S #577 ot 14 May. Respectfully, Lieut., USNI C05 4f. 5/21/2. Memo for Lieut., Comr. Daisley; Further confirmation of the status of CINC 5TH FLT as OTC of the Northern Operations is provided by GZ-#1612 of 16 May. Respectf11y Freemen. [ 008 ‘S • (;. 22 Kay, 1912 MORAN1JM FOR LT. COMDP. G. W. DAISIY: Subject: “AF” and 2nd K” Cañpaign. 1. The 2nd Cnpaign is not oox3l:lected with the camign.“K” “ÀY” (a) The forces involved in the 2nd “K” are 4th Air Attack Force and Subs. This fce will attack OAEU with the subs acting as lookouts, etc. as before. After the attack the subs will move on eastward to be used as advare lookouts for the “ÀY” Cam paign. They should be one week to 10 days apart. (b) The Forces involved in the “Ar’ Campaign are : Cinc 2nd Fleet plus his carriers (4 or 5), his BB’s (2. Div.) plus 1 or 2 Crudivs and 1 or 2 Des rona plus 4th Air Attack Force. NOTE: That when Cino 2nd departs Truk and Saipan Area d advances to A! the 4th Air Attack Force based at Wake and Karshaile can sear oh 600 miles radius and give him recon naissance to within 300 miles of Wake. The oirriers do not have to use their planes and own frequencies to give away anything other than daily patrols from Wake and Marshalla. The overniat run of the tast 300 mile a will bring a complete surprise of the carrier craft on the morning of the attack. 2. Gino 5th may, or may not be the head man in the”A0”Cam- paign. The only connection we have is that the forces will assemble at Ominato and that one of Gino 5th’s patrol ships will be usei to patrol “A0” Area. NOTE here that this same ship ór another is probably patroling within 700 miles of “A0” now, so all he has to do is move out a couple days steaming and he is on station. Eere again the sane ship and se trequenoy is used which will not attaot attation by a change. Whether he retains the old boss of Cino 5th or gets a zw one is unowzi. J.”S.

My sisters, Sarah and Elizabeth, have supported me throughout my studies, and their enthusiasm for my progress is always welcome. I have profound respect for Dr. Robert Burgess and Professors Mario Erasmo and James Anderson, without whose enthusiasm and instruction my decision to pursue a Ph.D. would have never come about. My gratitude goes to Professor Victoria Pagán and the students of her Lucan seminar during Fall 2009, whence the nascent stages of this project were born. My thanks go to Seth Boutin, Megan Daly and George Hendren, in particular, for their erudition and collegial support in this process. Lindsay Rogers offered me much support in the way of professional and academic advice throughout my graduate studies. I have appreciated the criticisms of Professor Gene Witmer in UF Philosophy, who has offered help in making this project appeal to a non-specialist audience. His suggestions of horror bibliography and modern film comparanda have been indispensible. Professor Kostas Kapparis has been a steady mentor in my teaching and writing since I began Ph.D. work, and his objectivity has kept my argument grounded in the text.

    reaching the limits of their search area, ENS Reid and his navigator, ENS Swan decided to push their search a little farther. When he spotted small specks in the distance, he promptly radioed Midway: “Sighted main body. Bearing 262 distance 700.” PBYs could carry a crew of eight or nine and were powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1830-92 radial air-cooled engines at 1,200 horsepower each. The aircraft was 104 feet wide wing tip to wing tip and 63 feet 10 inches long from nose to tail. Catalinas were patrol planes that were used to spot enemy submarines, ships, and planes, escorted convoys, served as patrol bombers and occasionally made air and sea rescues. Many PBYs were manufactured in San Diego, but Reid’s aircraft was built in Canada. “Strawberry 5” was found in dilapidated condition at an airport in South Africa, but was lovingly restored over a period of six years. It was actually flown back to San Diego halfway across the planet – no small task for a 70-year old aircraft with a top speed of 120 miles per hour. The plane had to meet FAA regulations and was inspected by an FAA official before it could fly into US airspace.

  • Additional Historic Information the Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish
    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.

  • Life Aboard "Battleship X": the USS South Dakota in World War II
    Copyright © 1993 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Life Aboard "Battleship X": The USS South Dakota in World War II DAVID B. MILLER Relics of the Second World War still linger on the South Dakota landscape. A few World War I l-era buildings remain at Ellsworth Air Force Base near Rapid City and at Joe Foss Field in Sioux Falls, rem- nants of the facilities constructed there for the Army Air Force in the massive military buildup following Pearl Harbor. Satellite airfields for those training bases now serve as municipal airports at Mitchell, Pierre, and Watertown. Unexploded ordnance still litters what was once the Badlands Gunnery Range, where B-17 bomber crews from Rapid City Air Force Base, as Ellsworth was then known, practiced beforeflyingofftobombGermany. The site of the Black Hills Ord- nance Depot at Igloo, built in 1942, continues to provide a focus for conflicts over large-scale solid-waste disposal in the state. All of these vestiges of the Big War seem, somehow, part of the landscape on which they rest. What is probably South Dakota's most unusual souvenir of the conflict sits far from its element, however. Visitors to Sherman Park in Sioux Falls can look up the Big Sioux River at most of what remains of one of the most famous battleships of World War (l-the USS South Dakota. The story of the battleship and the affection that South Dakotans developed for it is a unique chapter in the heritage of the state. Copyright © 1993 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night.
