An inside joke enjoyed by the radarmen. We were traveling to Okinawa in a convoy of attack transports and were constantly asked for the range and bearing on the lead ship of our column. It was March 31, 1945, the day before Easter.
Did we have an idea of what awaited us? I don't remember, but I recollect Tokyo Rose saying it would be a fierce battle because if Okinawa was defeated, victory for Japan would be impossible although the nation would continue fighting.
