SECNE T g. An unconfirmed press report 2010/08(KT) records the loss of Chonan, key railway town 36 miles North of Taijon. U.S. Navy h, Present naval reinforcements directed by JCS believed to be adequate at this time. However, future planning must anticipate another East Carrier Task Force. (CINCFE) (TOP SECRET) 1. Vice Admiral Struble, Commanding Seventh Fleet, has arrived in Taipei, Formosa to discuss details of defending the Islands against invasion (PRESS) Collett (DD) and Shoalhaven, British Patrol Frigate, patrolling West coast Korea. Dehaven (DD) enroute Sasebo. Jamaica (Br.CL), Hart (Br. PF) and Swenson (DD) patrolling East coast Korea. (COMNAVFE) (SECRET) U.S. AIR K. FEAF reports belief that lack of enemy aerial opposition may be due to a desire to save aircraft for a surprise assault. On 6 July (KT) one Yak strafed Osan, while on 7 July, two strafed Taegu. Interrogation of enemy air force prisoners of war indicates that aircraft previously believed to be Yak-9's actually are Yak 7B's, these aircraft being similar in appearance. 1. Although missions were hampered by weather throughout the period, B-29's radar bombed the oil refinery and marshalling yards at Wonsan and targets of opportunity. B-26's attacked tank and truck concentrations north of Pyongtaek and between Pyontaek and Osan with good results, although with the loss of 2 aircraft. Fighters performed escort, cover, and close support missions reportedly destroying or damaging one locomotive, several troop cars, tanks, half tracks, and trucks. Transports continued airlifts although curtailed somewhat by weather. Coordination by Office of Assistant Chief of Staff, G-2, U.S. Army Extensions: 131-55245, 55766, 72591. 2
