Jones joined the Cache as the ship was nearing the end of the repairs and about to begin the next phase of its service in the Pacific theater. Fleet oilers were an important part of the US Navy surface force. At this point in the war fleet task forces roamed the Pacific imposing their will with aircraft and shell fire, but they were thirsty, requiring oil and gasoline every few days. Without the work of the oilers, the surface forces would be no more than heavily armed buoys, bobbing with the waves rather than moving through them. The Cache immediately went to work fueling ships from some of the most famous task forces to serve in the US Pacific Fleet. Between November 1942 and October 1945, the Cache traveled 129,720 nautical miles, refueling 543 different ships, transporting a total of 119,575,806 gallons of fuel oil. Just counting the oil was impressive, not to mention the hundreds of men and thousands of tons of supplies carried by the Cache in support of the Pacific Fleet.
Section of the homeward bound pennant of the USS Cache, given to crew member S1c Thomas E. Jones. The pennant was 285 feet long, with one linear foot for each member of the crew.

This photograph, taken from the cruise book of USS Cache shows the 285-foot homeward bound pennant flying from the ship. The pennant is so long balloons have been tied to it to prevent it dragging in the ocean. The National WWII Museum, Gift in Memory of Thomas E. Jones, 2019.065
Seaman First Class Jones, was witness to a 285-foot-long homeward bound pennant flying from the main mast of the USS Cache. The pennant contained 22 white stars on a blue field, one for each officer, and 263 linear feet of red over white stripe, one foot for each member of the enlisted crew. The pennant was so long it was suspended with balloons to keep it from dragging in the water. This massive pennant was flown from the Cache as it left Tokyo Bay on September 24, 1945, and was raised again on October 8, 1945, as the ship entered the port of Los Angeles, California. When the pennant was hauled down, each officer received a section with a white star while each enlisted crewman was given a one-foot section of the red and white section. After Thomas E. Jones was discharged from the US Navy, he had a souvenir that was specific to his ship and his experience, something really unique.
Despite their commendable service during World War II, the Marines of Montford Point would regularly contend with societal forces that vehemently resisted all measures taken toward racial integration.
