Re: B-29 42-65273 lost 25 May 45 Tokyo
Thanks Rolland,
Attached is the new plot showing the positions of the subs and destroyers on 26 May.
USS Roe (DD-418) was the northern ship closest to USS Tigrone, with USS Lamson (DD-367) about 440 miles south of USS Roe. There was a third vessel, likely another destroyer at the southern end of the lifeguard line, however it was operating so close to Saipan it too likely has no bearing on this missing B-29.
Edit/Update: USS Lamson location posted above is incorrect. Correct position for Lamson is displayed on the attached (updated) plotting image.
It is a little disappointing the War Diaries for these two vessels contain little to no dialogue for 25-26 May. Perhaps there was simply nothing to report.
