Bombed Carrier Bunker Hill
Loses 392Men but Reaches u. s,

Another big American. aircraft
carrier, the 27,000-ton Bunker Hill,
has been heavily damaged by jap
anese bombs in recent fighting in
the Pacific, the Navy Department
announced last night. The gallant
fighting lady" is being repaired at
the Puget Sound Navy Yard, Brem-
erton, Wash, and will hit the enemy
again. But 373 of her brave crew
are dead, 10 more are missing and
264 are wounded.
The veteran of nearly two years
of spirited combat service against
Japan, the Bunker Hill was blasted
by two Jap suicide planes on May
II as she was supporting the cam
paign against Okinawa. Two other
great carriers, the Franklin and
the Saratoga-the latter now back
with the f1eet-had been listed by
the Navy within the last month on
the honor roll Of badly wounded
vessels.
Most Damaged Ship"
When she steamed slowly into
Puget Sound recently the Bunker
Hill was marked as the most extern
sively damaged vessel ever to enter
the repair yard. The Navy COM
pared her wounds to those of the
Franklin, although the loss of life
aboard her was smaller than the
1,l00 men who died on the other.

Ryukyus Campaign Costs
u. S. 46,37o Casualties

. GUAM, June % (P.-The Ryukyus
campaign, including capture of
Okinawa Island and several asso-
ciated strikes by the Navy's fast
carrier forces on the japanese
homeland, cost the United States
46,319 casualties, of whom 1887
were killed or missing.
Naval casualties of 4,907 killed or
missing and 1921 wounded-a total
of 9,731-for the period March 18
through June 20 were announced in
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz's COM
munique today Previously, he had
reported Army and Marine casulties
of $500 killed or missing and 1888
wounded in OkinaWa ground action
Naval casualties for the Ryukyus
operation included nearly 1000
killed, missing or wounded on the
Carrier Franklin in Inland Sea
operations March 1919 and 656
when the Japs attacked the Carrier
Bunker Hill May II in Okinawa
operations.
The Inland Sea attack, in which
the Franklin was damaged, cost the
japanese the 45,000-ton battleship
Yamato sunk, along with two
cruisers, five destroyers and several
smaller vessels sent to the bottom
The enemy lost an estimated $500
naval personnel on those ships.
Japan also lost more than 1000
pilots and planes in attacks on
Americas Okinawa sea and land
forces, and 111,351 of her ground
troops killed and captured.
More than 1,400 American ships
were engaged in the Ryukyus opera
ton, principally in landing the
troops and their supplies, protecting
them, and keeping them supplied.
Hundreds of ships were in the area
throughout the 82-day campaign,
open to almost daily aerial attacks.
The Navy lost 33 ships sunk, all
announced as destroyers or smaller,
and about so damaged.
Indicative of the decreased enemy
aerial activity, Admiral Nimitz's
figures showed that casualties in the
last four weeks were 637 naval per-
sonnel killed or missing and 653
wounded.
Only few enemy planes appeared
over the Okinawa area Tuesday.
They caused no damage, Admiral
Nimitz's communique reported to-
day.

first appearance on OkinaWa as
commander of the United States

Negro Troops Land
On 6 Marianas Isles
With Single Shot
Porty Sent to Find More
Landing Areas for
Crippled Super Forts
BY the Associated Press.

GUAM. June %. - American
Negro troops landed on six more
small islands in the Northern
Marianas and brought them un-
der American domination with
a single pistol shot, Pacific Fleet
headquarters announced today.
1t was purely a accommodating
operation to locate more areas where
crippled Super Forts could crash
land while limping back from raids
on Japan. Reconnoitering troops
left no holding force behind after
discovering that the Japanese didn't
have garrison on any Of the islands.
The operation was carried out by
two platoons of Negro infantrymen,
aided by native guides and japanese
captives who promised their COM
patriots good treatment in the
hands Of Americans. The naval
force" consisted of a destroyer
escort, and two 153-foot LC1s.
Only Shot Fired by Guide.
Neither ships nor landing forces
spent a single bullet. A guide fired
only one shot-a pistol cartridge ex-
pended on 1 japanese who refused
to surrender.
The Marianas Islands of Guam,
Tinian and Saipan already are firm
ly held by Americans.
The six new islands are Anatahan,
Sairgan, Alamagan, Agrihan,. As
cuncion and Maug. Maug was the
only island which showed signs of
japanese military occupancy. A
weather station was once main
tanned there, but it was bombed out
earlier in the Marianas campaign.
After studying the islands thor
oughly. the troops and ships re-
turned to their bases. Data on
survival possibilities in the island is
being distributed to Army and Navy
commands operating planes in this
area.
Food Left for Natives.
About "a japanese civilians and
38 natives, mostly employees of a
japanese copra company or sur
vivors of sunken Japanese merchant
ships, were removed. The natives
needed medical attention and were
taken to Saipan along with some
OkinaWan fishermen.
Ample foodstuffs were left there
for about 260 natives and japanese
civilians who remained behind.
There are still japanese on Rota
Island, which lies between Sapan
and Guam, and on Pagan, between
Aiamagan and Agrihan. Rota fire.
quently serves as a practice target
for American bombers.

sank a Jap destroyer and
large transport and damaged
another large transport and an
unidentified vessel.
During Jap landing operations
on Christmas Island. south Of
Java. she played havoc among
enemy isers which were
heavily screened by destroyers.
All her attacks were followed
up at short ranges in the face
OF furious enemy opposition and,
after each attack. the Seawolf
was the target OF heavy, pro-
longer, depth charge counter
attacks by the JapS. But she
