I've got to agree with Rich on this one. On my posts about the chronology of the Pacific theater, there are multiple instances of the fast carrier force of Halsey's Third Fleet (TF38) launching missions on the 10-15 of August 1945 along with B-29 missions also. There is even a record of the US destroyer carrying out a depth charge attack of Iwo Jima on the 16th, along with a Japanese attack on a US submarine in the sea of Japan on that day. There is also the instance of the surface battle on the 21st of August between Chinese junks manned by a mixed Chinese and American crews and a Japanese junk.
