In late May 1942 there was an urgent call for volunteers to form an intercept unit for duty aboard the U.S.S. Yorktown. The three enlisted operators above were designated and ordered to prepare to depart Wahiawa when ready and report to the ship in Pearl Harbor. Very little information was available as to the nature of the operation but most operators at Wahiawa had been aware for some time that fleet action was imminent in the Midway Island area.
The three operators reported to the ship in Pearl Harbor, finding her still at the dock still undergoing repairs to battle damage sustained in the Coral Sea battle from which she had just returned. Only RIP-5s, callsign/frequency information and message blanks were transported to the ship by the operators.

"What happened to the USS Yorktown at the Battle of Midway?
The USS Yorktown (CV-5) was heavily damaged at the Battle of Coral Sea, but it pushed on to join other Navy forces at the Battle of Midway, where the valiant actions of the crew helped ensure a U.S. victory despite the loss of the ship."
