Marc Mitscher
Off the coast of Okinawa, Ogawa, along with Seizo Yasunori, another Zero pilot, his squadron leader, sighted "Bunker Hill". On Mother's Day, May 11, 1945, "Bunker Hill" had been at sea and in continuous action for 58 days. With a slight lull that day, the ship was at condition "One Easy", with ventilators open and the crew, including Vice-Admiral Marc Mitscher, commander of Task Force 58, trying to relax. At 1004, Marine Captain James E. Swett, flying his F4U-1C Corsair on Combat air patrol, frantically radioed "Alert! Alert! Two planes diving on the Bunker Hill!"
