Shippingprovisions for return of Boat Pool Boats.
The deck space of the vessels lifting out cargo, vehicles,
and engineer equipment was ata premiwa and appeared to preclude
lifting out all boat pool boats unless CONSTOCK made several trips.
However, at a conference of representatives of all Task Groups, an
allocation of space was made which made it possible to return all
boats without excessive delay.
To accomplish this, COMSTOCK will
lift two LCT to Kwajalein and then return to Eniwetok for a complete
load of boats; the departure of COMSTOCK from Eniwetok with the load
of boats for Kwajalein will not occur until towards the end of rollup, when the services of the LCT can be spared.

were detailed to lift FITZWILLIAM wmits to Kwajalein; ROGERS picked
up unit at Rongerik and joined the MOVEMENT UNIT enroute to Pearl.
