Mitscher cites death by own action planes off Okinawa
Vice Admiral Mark A Mitscher disclosed at a news conference that two enemy death by own action planes damaged his flagships during battles near Okinawa. He said he moved his headquarters after the first strike and then again after a second ship was hit. He noted no capital ship in his command was sunk by such planes and estimated about 1860 suicide fliers had been shot down near Okinawa. Mitscher urged new equipment for the Pacific war and defended Navy-Air Force relations, saying airfields do not appear overnight and that Allied navies have control of sea routes to Okinawa and Iwo Jima. He also suggested reductions in suicide attacks are likely with redesigns. He joked about false reports of his death and stressed that surrender is unlikely for a long time.
