After a futile search for the Japanese carriers on 22 June, the American task force turned back toward the Marianas. On 23 June, "Bataan"s aircraft bombed Pagan Island, damaging the airfield and shooting down four Zekes and a Betty. That afternoon, TG 58.1 turned northwest toward the Bonin Islands, attempting to complete the attacks canceled on 16 June. "Bataan" launched 17 fighters for the attack on Iwo Jima at dawn on 24 June but these, and the 34 Hellcats from "Yorktown" and "Hornet", met a Japanese incoming strike about halfway to the target. A second melee developed near the carriers when another Japanese raid met with task force's CAP. "Bataan"s air group lost three aircraft in these battles but claimed 25 in return. The task group then retired toward the Marshalls, anchoring at Eniwetok on 27 June.
