In the early 80's I and my US Navy Reserve P3 Orion crew deployed to Guam for our two week deployment. While there we got to fly a MAP or maritime air patrol of the eastern Caroline Islands. That included Truk. I got many aerial photos of the sunken merchant ships that are not too deep. You can still see the forward mast of the San Francisco Maru. What a place to scuba dive.

@frosty3693 4 жыл бұрын

I think you may be mistaken. The entrances to the Atol were mined. Some of the ones that were used had shore controls to deactivate the mines. There was one freighter that didn't know better and used one of the non approved passes and hit a mine and was sunk there but it was not a pass they used and before the attacks.

Was it planned to let the Japanese use a lot of resources to rebuild Truk after the first attack, and then go back to destroy it more? This is a good example of attrition as Japan had limited resources at this time. Thank you for the accurate simulation.

There are a number of independent sources, such as Jacques Cousteau, that have verified the large number of ships sunk in Chuuk Lagoon. The best guess is that the first attack put about 50 ships on the bottom. A smaller number with the second attack. There are also guided dives which is now a major business in Chuuk (Truk). All of the ships have not been positively identified. There was a major effort to retrieve the bodies when Jacques Cousteau revealed that the ships were still full of remains back in the 60's. There were 18 ships sunk at Pearl Harbor, however it could be argued that the large battleships sunk during that earlier attack were more critical for the time.

Wouldn't it have been more effective to use the littoral ship's (battleships, destroyers, etc.) heavy guns to pound the islands before sending in the bombers and attack aircraft? Certainly would have reduced AA fire and enemy fighter aircraft. The attol was a natural "trap" for the ships so zeroing the big guns rather easy. Might have saved many more pilots and sailors.

The Japanese were excellent at hunkering down, It was known that bombardment was not that effective. Plus I think they wanted to make it a surprise attack.

@joepangean6770 4 жыл бұрын

@@kbanghart If you are referring to Iwo Jima and other islands yes. This is an attol (ring of land with protected harbor). The ships in the harbor cannot hunker down nor could they escape easily thus the destruction from air attack. Littoral ships could have lobbed tons of ordinance into the harbor striking the ships and shore batteries.
