HALSEY AIMS NEW ATTACKS AT JAPANESE
Navy losses at Okinawa greatest encountered
GUAM (AP) – Casualties to the U.S. fleet at Okinawa have been the “greatest naval casualties encountered in any of our operations to this time,” Vice Adm. Raymond A. Spruance, commander of the Fifth Fleet, said in departing from sea duty to plan new operations ashore.
In a short talk on the occasion of his receiving the Navy Cross for his part in the Okinawa operations, Spruance said:
The Okinawa operation in which we have been engaged has been distinctly the most extensive and protracted of all operations by the Fifth Fleet.
