Publisher's Synopsis
This is a modified version of the June 1942 Commander-in-Chief, United States Pacific Fleet War Diary. This month continues the format from May: the daily "Narrative", "Daily Distribution of Operating Forces", "Current Movements of Naval Units", and "War Plans - Daily Summary". The last week of June is a bit of a muddle, with sections missing or duplicated. Spruance took over as CinCPac Chief of Staff on June 23, so this might be a byproduct of the administrative change. Also at this time the daily intelligence reports are included in the War Diary, though again this is done in a somewhat random and haphazard manner. This document has been altered from the original for publishing and readability purposes. Individual redundant page headings have been deleted. Empty page space has been removed. Typos have been corrected and inconsistencies eliminated. Geographical misspellings have not been changed. Select words in all-uppercase have been replaced with conventional lower case. Other than the above revisions, this is the original CinCPac War Diary, as submitted to the Chief of Naval Operations. The War Diaries were compiled to chronicle the daily operations of the ships and commands of the U.S. Navy. This was done for contemporary analysis and as a historical record.
