Regrettably, Commander Thomas of the USS Hoel (DD-533), personally informed Commander Denton that Hoel's crew had observed the smoking FM-2 stall, knife-in the right wing, and although preparations were initiated to launch a rescue, after 10 minutes the pilot did not returned to the surface.
Taffy 3 is still vulnerable while in the process resupplying, and group is concerned the IJN Zero's were part of a larger Japanese initiative pending minutes.
