  • The Tale of the Cat by JACKSON SELLERS
    The Tale of the Cat By JACKSON SELLERS Published in The Tin Can Sailor, October 2006 In the final year of the Pacific War, an admiral fondly nicknamed a Fletcher-class destroyer, a pioneer picket in a dangerous Fast Carrier Task Force tactic. And then an entire destroyer squadron adopted the newly christened destroyer’s “Tomcat” nickname as its fighting symbol. The USS Colahan (DD-658) was that original “Tomcat,” the first to paint the image of an angry cat on each side of her forward stack. The Colahan’s art- work was duplicated aboard other Fletchers in Destroyer Squadron 53 — the Uhlmann, the Halsey Powell, the Benham, the Cushing, the Stockham, the Twining, the Wedderburn and the Yarnall. For the rest of the war, DesRon 53 war- ships steamed as the “Tomcat Squadron,” and they carried their stack markings proudly into Tokyo Bay for Japan’s surrender. The Colahan acquired her “Tomcat” nickname during picket service under Vice Admiral John S. McCain, who twice took command of the fleet’s Fast Carrier Task Force, both times relieving Vice Admiral Marc Mitscher. It was Admiral McCain himself, grandfather of the U.S. sena- tor from Arizona, who bestowed the nick- name on this frontline destroyer. McCain first relieved Mitscher on 30 October 1944, just after the Leyte Gulf battles. Two months earlier, following the Mariana campaign, Admiral William Halsey assumed command of the fleet, taking over from Admiral Raymond Spruance. The Fifth Fleet became the Third, and Carrier Task Force 58 became Task Force 38. In general, Mitscher was Spruance’s carrier task force commander and McCain was Halsey’s, but Mitscher hung on under Halsey through the initial strikes on the Philippines, while McCain, then commander of a task group, Courtesy of Henry S.
