Part Eleven: The British Pacific and East India Fleets (2nd Phase)

Continues the story of the East Indies & British Pacific fleets. March 1945 saw the BPF having to sustain almost daily air strikes throughout more than 30 days ongoing sea duty, and the horrors of kamikazi attacks. With all the fleet carriers now being assigned to that force, the EIF was left operating solely with escort carriers. While their area of operations eventually came to be regarded as a backwater, this episode shows that some EIF personnel did on occasions come face-to-face with their enemy.
