Patrolling the Pacific at Saipan and Okinawa

The USS Champlin arrive on Saipan the same day that the United States drops the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima.  However, the Japanese do not surrender, causing the feeling that the war will last even longer.  On August 9th, a second atomic bomb is dropped on Nagasaki.  On August 12th, the USS Champlin arrives in the waters outside Okinawa, and since the Japanese have not yet surrendered, the fear of kamikaze attacks is intense.  On August 13th, the Champlin spots an enemy planes nearby, but none approached the ship.
