SanJuan rejoined Hornet on 22 March and, until 30 April, operated with her to the north and east of Nansei Shoto, interrupting her regular occupation of supporting air strikes and replenishment at sea with a bombardment on 21 April of Minami Daito Shima, a small island about 180 miles from Okinawa.
