CUP - The Aircraft Tender

fighting in a 50-hour running
battle with Japanese bombers
in the Indian Ocean south Of
Java. Survivors of the Lang

Commander r. p. Mcconnell,

Escaped First Blows
The Langley evaded the first
salvoes.
'"Their bombing was or" McCon-
nell said. But the second bombing
by another formation Of nine planes
was very effective. The salvo prac-.
tically smothered the Langley. We
were right in the midst Of the
bombs. It was this galvo which
forced us to leave the Langley"
During the attack and afterward.
the escort destroyerS darted about
the sinking vessel Skillful maneuv-
ering kept them from being bombed.
AS the Langley was sinking, Life
belts and RATS were issued to the
crew and they went overheard
calmly and the destroyers picked
them up.
The destroyerS could not CONS
alongside the Langley because Of the
danger that the aircraft tender
would overturn.
"After the area had been search
ed for all survivors, the escort ves@
sells hastened the sinking Of the
Langley by Use Of their own arIna-
ments," Mcconnell said. ut was
