ADAK, Aleutians, June 28
(Delayed) (A") A North Pa
cific task force virtually wiped
out a five-ship Japanese convey
in the Sea of Okhotsk in the
sub-arctic dawn today.
The action, first reported In
those waters, took place in
clear weather a few miles south
west of Paramushiro.
Definitely sunk were a 2000
ton freighter, a smaller cargo
ship and a large seagoing tug.
Concentrated shellfire from
cruisers and destroyers prob
ably sank an additional small
cargo ship and damaged an
other. ."
-i The Japanese ships were sur
prised by a fast task force un
der tactical command of Rear
A dm. John Brown Jr., Washing
ton, D. C, a former central Pa
cific submariner who recently
succeeded Rear Adm. John L.
McCrea of Washington, D. C. .
The attack was vicious. The
Japanese could offer only inef
fective fire from small auto
matic weapons..
The American force suffered
no casualties or damage. Al
though it risked the possibility
of aerial attack from Japanese
planes based on fields through
out the Kuriles, not a single
enemy plane appeared.
Naval units under the North
Pacific command of Vice Adm.
Frank Jack Fletcher had visited
that area on at least three other
occasions, bombarding Paramu
shiro or Matsuwa.
The Okhotsk engagement was
the first surface action of any
magnitude in the North Pacific
smce the battle of the Koman-
dorskies in March, 1943. Since
the Japanese lost Attu and evac
uated Kiska, they virtually have
been driven from the North Pa
cific
However, they have been
using the Sea of Ohkotsk. which
is protected on the east by the
Kuriles and is bounded by the
Japanese home islands, soviet
Kamchatka and Siberia, to sup?
ply northern nunle garrisons,
