The brief article on the front page regards the ait attack on the Jap fleet at Brunei Bay Caught my attention.

The survivors of Adm Kurita’s force are there. I checked The Tabulated Records of Movement at http://www.combinedfleet.com/senkan.htm for the Yamato, Kongo,Haruna and Nagato and found no mention of any damage in the records.

The air strike is called out as happening on November 16, 1944 with 40 B-24s and 15 P-38 as escorts.

If any of the folks are interested in the Imperial Japanese Navy that website, http://www.combinedfleet.com is probably the best source on the web for information.

And a time for the obligatory note of thanks for the posts. I have some idea of how much time you put in to do these and it’s is much appreciated.

Regards

Thanks. No one will be happier than Mrs. Homer when VJ Day finally arrives.

I want to echo your comment about the Combined Fleet webpage. It is one of the finest historical resources on the internet.
