Washington June 22 UPI Nearly 100 American aircraft carriers operate in the Pacific with Task force 58 able to launch over 1,000 planes and move across the ocean to Japan. The unit, led by Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher, played a decisive role in strikes on the Marianas and other targets, turning back the Japanese armada in the battle of the eastern Philippines and becoming the most mobile strategic air force yet seen.
Naval experts rank the carrier strike off the Philippines as a major psychological and strategic win. They note the enemy fleet was not whole, but warn the main battle awaits, with damage including one carrier sunk and several ships damaged while the Japanese guard remains cautious. The attack opens Saipan operations and tightens the path to Japan, the Philippines, Formosa, or the China coast.
