Re: USN TF58 raid 16/17 February 1945
All the USN Fast Carrier action reports were microfilmed back in the '80s, as well as all the USN (and some USMC) fighter squadrons. As far as I know these are available from the USN Operational Archives of the Naval Historical Center. Unfortunately the price has not been the $5/reel that it cost in the '80s... All the reports for a given carrier are gathered together on one or two reels of 16mm or 35mm microfilm (mostly the latter I think; the fighter squadrons are about evenly divided between 16mm and 35mm). The Fast Carrier reels also include any damage reports. The fighter squadron reels include any histories or war diaries (land based only, and therefore mostly training).
The original reports are now located at NARA II in College Park, Maryland. Frank.
