While en route to the objective area the CVE's provided air cover for the transport groups, although many flights had to be cancelled because of high winds, rough seas and reduced visibility.
In one instance it was necessary to cancel scheduled TBM flights for the remainder of the day when the catapult tow cable parted at the socket joint in the middle of the afternoon of 31 March.
Throughout this engagement the STEAMER BAY operated either with CVE Group ONE, TWO or THREE, except for the periods of ammunition replenishment at Kerama Retto or fuel replenishment from the oilers in the fueling areas.

 The FReeper Foxhole Remembers Anzio - (Jan-May 1944) - July 25th, 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The port of Anzio, in the center of the assault area, was assigned to Colonel William O. Darby's three Ranger battalions, along with the 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion and the 83rd Chemical Battalion.
The Anzio operation had become necessary because the Allied drive up the Italian peninsula had ground to a halt in the autumn of 1943 some 100 miles south of Rome, in front of a series of heavily fortified positions that stretched the width of Italy.
Much of this belief stemmed from intelligence reports that indicated more German units in the Anzio area than were actually present, the result of fragments of larger units that had been hurriedly thrown into the line (if a battalion or regiment of a division were present, G-2 officers assumed the entire division was on line).
