This film shows the role of Task Force 58 in the battle for
Okinawa. The island is bombarded from sea and air. Japanese shipping and
airfields and factories in Japan are bombed and strafed.
The story consists mostly
of the fleet's three-month defense against Kamikaze attacks intended to
isolate U.S. troops on the island. Many Kamikaze planes are destroyed
and others crash on or near their targets. Sailors fight fires and
repair damages caused by the attacks.
