Оттуда же

относительно незначительных потерь, 1942:

Jan 23
... The NECHES (AO-5) was sunk at 0319 (local)...
As no other tanker was available except the NEOSHO which was duo at Pearl on the 26th, CinCPac decided that the factor of safety for the Wake expedition was too small, and ordered Task Force 11 to return to Pearl to be fueled and held in readiness for eventualities.

May 6
The NEOSHO and SIMS were apparently sunk by dive bombers in the Coral Sea. The loss of a fast new tanker makes the fuel supply to forces in that area more difficult than ever.
