Still Fightingest
Carrier In Fleet
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27—1/P)—
Damaged fifteen times in four
! years of the war “sunk” six times
in Jap propaganda, the aircraft
carrier Enterprise still is the
“fightingest carrier of the fleet.”
The Navy said so, the detailing
of the only surviving United
States carrier in the South Pacific
in 1942. In those dark days the
Enterprise “held the line.”
Despite scars and grievous
wounds received in the battles of
the Eastern Solomons and Santa
Cruz, her latest most serious
brush with disaster came on the
morning of last May fourteenth,
! when a bomb laden Jap suicide
plane crashed into the flight deck.
The explosion blasted the for
ward elevator more than four
hundred feet into the air and
killed fourteen and injured an
other thiryt-four.
Vice Admiral Mitscher was
aboard the Enterprise at the time
commanding task force fifty-eight,
i Less than a week earlier Mitscher
was forced to transfer his flag
from the carrier Bunker Hill
when she suffered serious damage
from a kamikaze attack. From
the Enterprise he moved to the
Randolph.
The exact amount of banana
imports in 1943 was withheld as a
