LCVPs making smoke to cover USS Chinquapin (AN-17) and other ships at Okinawa. Chinquapin was often in unprotected situations while working on a net line, marker buoy installation etc. Small craft making smoke provided some cover from Japanese Kamikaze air raids. There was usually any where from 12 to 20 minutes advance warning time from pickets ships that the Japanese were heading toward the fleet anchorage allowing precious little time to make smoke to try to protect the ships in the anchorage. |
