Page 12 of a World War II war history/action report documenting the escort carrier USS Petrof Bay (CVE-80) and her Task Unit 77.4 companions under sustained Japanese kamikaze and submarine attack. The narrative recounts four suicide plane attacks in a single raid, a near-miss torpedo attack, and a successful counterattack by the destroyer USS Coolbaugh - a vivid record of the intense fighting escort carrier groups endured while supporting amphibious operations in the Philippines in early 1945.
