Feb 23, 1945

2-23-16

There, I caught up with the calendar!

Frank Studenski:   February 23, 1945       This afternoon we fueled from tankers.   Tonight we are heading back to the Tokyo area. The water is getting rough and we are about 500 miles from Tokyo.   This time of year the weather is always rough.

And, from Frank:   February 24, 1945     We expected to launch planes this morning for strikes on Tokyo, but canceled the launch because of bad weather.   We will launch tomorrow and I am glad to have a good set of sea legs, or I would always be sick.   I like to go up in the superstructure and look out at the rough seas.
