HOLT suffered no damage but CHAFFEE (DE-230) was the victim of an aerial torpedo that luckily did not travel far enough to arm before piercing her hull and passing completely through her peak tank, leaving holes about twenty inches in diameter on either side of her hull.
HOLT circled back to the burning debris of the suicide plane that had barely missed her and lowered a motor whale boat to recover the body of the Japanese suicide pilot who was buried at sea.
