U.S. Navy Department (June 4, 1942)
Navy Communiqué No. 86
North Pacific area.
The situation at Dutch Harbor is at present quiet. Yesterday’s first raid by the Japanese appears to have been made primarily to test our defenses. High explosives and incendiary bombs were dropped but, as previously announced, our casualties were light and damage was not extensive. The few fires which were started were quickly extinguished.
The second wave of enemy planes, which was reported to have attacked 6 hours after the initial attack (Communiqué No. 85), failed to drop any bombs and appears to have been engaged solely in reconnaissance.
The source of the attacking Japanese aircraft has not been definitely determined but they are thought to have been carrier-based.
Atlantic area.
The USS Cythera, a small naval patrol vessel taken over by the Navy last December, has been overdue in this area for more than 3 weeks and is presumed to be lost.
The next of kin of personnel in the Cythera have been notified.
There is nothing to report from other areas.
Navy Communiqué No. 87
