That’s really interesting as it never gets mentioned. I had read the Japanese designed specific bombs for the oil tanks. Always wondered what type of collateral damage would have occurred when if those yanks went up.

They were supposed to take out the US Navy repair yard and sub pen but didn’t. Huge mistake.

And, obviously, their concentration on sinking the battleships instead of or including our carriers was either bad luck, bad intelligence or outdated thinking by not realizing this would be a carrier war by navys was just as huge.
