US NAVY
—Operation MAGIC CARPET begins.
11 September to 31 December 1945—Between
the signing of the capitulation documents on board the battleship Missouri (BB‑63)
and the end of the year, Japanese garrisons on the Asiatic mainland and on by‑passed
islands scattered throughout the western Pacific surrender. Occupation of Japan
progresses and the administrative organization of the U.S. naval forces in the
area is adjusted where necessary to enable the Navy to carry out occupation and
demilitarization duties. Naval combat strength shrinks as demobilization
procedures are set in motion. On 10 October 1945 Headquarters of the Commander
in Chief U.S. Fleet (Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King) is disestablished.
