In November 1945, USS Essex (CV-9) delivered attacks on Manila and the northern Philippine Islands during November. On 25 November, for the first time in her far-ranging operations and destruction to the enemy, Essex received damage. A kamikaze hit the port edge of her flight deck landing among planes gassed for takeoff causing extensive damage, killing 15, and wounding 44. CK3 Agee was among the men killed. He was buried at sea by his shipmates.
