“Do a bit of research into how far along Germany AND Japan were in developing their own atomic weapons. Rocketry technology was also a factor, since airplanes would not be needed to deliver atomic weaponry. Evidently, your perspective lacks sufficient data to make the assertions you’ve made.”

That was my thought too. Easy to be a Monday Morning Quarterback. Much harder to know what the Japanese would have come up with if they had a few more years to work on their hardware. They had spies - they knew, for certain, that nukes were possible - it was only a matter of time before they got something going. And then what...nuking naval formations may have been possible...for starters.

Sorry to the (relative) handful of civilians that got nuked (less than 1% of the total civilian casualties of the war...something never mentioned), but war is war, and don’t expect it to be clean and precise.

It’s sad that some people CANNOT FIGURE THAT OUT.
