English: The U.S. Navy high-speed transport USS Chase (APD-54) moored to a buoy at Kerama Retto sometime after 20 May 1945. On 20 May, Chase fired successfully on a diving kamikaze, but had to maneuver violently to avoid the falling aircraft. It splashed, a scant 10 yards (10 m) from the ship, and the explosion of the two bombs it carried ripped Chase's hull open, flooding the engine and fire rooms. With her steering gear jammed at hard left rudder, Chase drove off another suicide plane. Listing so badly as to be in danger of capsizing, Chase was kept afloat by the skillful work of her crew and towed into Kerama Retto for repairs. She was later towed across the Pacific to San Diego, California (USA), arriving 11 October 1945. Here she was decommissioned 15 January 1946. She was not repaired and sold for scrap.
