The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lexington (CV-16) underway on 10 March 1944. Rear Admiral Marc Mitscher took command of the newly formed Task Force 58 (TF 58) on 8 March. Mitscher took Lexington as his flagship, and after a warm-up strike against Mili atoll, the Fast Carrier Task Force began a series of operations against the Japanese positions in the Central Pacific. She supported U.S. Army landings at Hollandia on 13 April, and then raided Truk on 28 April.
