With repair parties and survivors from damaged areas scurrying about, helping the wounded and fighting fires, "Shea", listing 5 degrees to port, began limping off to Haeushi and medical assistance. She arrived there at 10:52; her most seriously wounded crew members were transferred to ; and the bodies of the 35 dead were removed for burial on Okinawa. "Shea" then resumed her limping, this time to Kerama Retto anchorage. At Kerama Retto, she underwent repairs and disgorged all but 10 percent of her ammunition. In addition, much of her gear, particularly radar and fighter direction equipment, was transferred to DesRon 2 for distribution to less severely damaged ships. After a memorial service on 11 May for her dead crewmen and the removal of some armament, "Shea" was underway on 15 May to join convoy OKU No. 4 (TU 51.29.9), heading for Ulithi Atoll.
