	Historical Narrative of USS Salamaua (CVE-96)
		Salamaua gunfire accounted for two planes during the late afternoon, but her hits failed to stop a third, which struck the Louisville 1500 yards off Salamaua's port beam.
		Almost immediately upon being struck by the suicide plane, Salamaua went to General Quarters and shot down two additional suicide divers, one of which scrashed into the sea close aboard her port quarter and the second of which was disintegrated by gnfire as it approached astern.
		Salamaua remained with the group until 3 June, steaming off Okinawa and furnishing direct air support to troops engaged in seizure and occupation of that island.
