In mid-April, Adria sailed to Ulithi where she took on more supplies and sailed on 20 April for Kerama Retto. During the rest of April and the first half of May—while the vessel operated near Okinawa unloading her cargo to support forces in the area— enemy air alerts frequently interrupted her operations. During an air raid on 30 April, one of Adria's crew members was fatally wounded by the explosion of a small caliber shell. With her holds empty, the ship left Okinawa on 7 May to sail to Pearl Harbor.
