I muri i te wa i Majuro, i uru a "Santa Fe" ki nga whakaekenga rererangi ki Truk me Saipan hei waahanga o te Task Force 58 i te Hui-tanguru 1944. I whakawhiwhia a Wright ki tetahi reta whakamoemiti mo ana mahi hei rangatira rangatira mo te "Santa Fe" i tenei pakanga. Mai i te 15 o Poutu-te-rangi tae noa ki te 1 o Mei 1944, ko te "Santa Fe" tetahi waahanga o te Rōpū Mahi 58.2, a Rear Admiral Joseph J. Clark i whakahau, i whakarato tautoko rererangi mo nga taunga amphibious i Emirau Island
I uru hoki ki nga whakaekenga rererangi ki nga hoia Hapanihi i Palau, Yap, Wakde, Woleai, Satawan, me Ponape, me te whakaeke rererangi nui ki te turanga moana Hapanihi i Truk. I uru hoki a "Santa Fe" ki te whakaeke i te takutai o Wakde Airfield me Sawar Airfield.
