US. Strikes Heavy Blows at Jap Navy, Gains Offensive Bases In SolOmons, Tn Year Since Pearl HarbOr Disaster

of the biggest and most significant sea battles of the war--the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway. Although fought thousand of miles apart. the battles actually were parts of the same strategic ac" ton Both battles were American yictories-defensive victories - and were particularly significant because they brought together for the first time two powerful navar air forces. In neither of these battles, which spread over thousands of square miles of the Pacific, did rival sur face forces clash. All damage to both sides was done by aircraft and submarines.
 In the Battle of the Coral Sea, Japan lost one carrier sunk and second carrier severely damaged and possibly sunk. At Midway, the Japanese lost four of their newest and best carriers sunk and total of 9 ships sunk or damaged. In the two engagements. the Japanese lost heavily in cruisers, destroyers and transports, including l4 vessels sunk in Tulagi harbor on May as the Battle of the Coral Sea opened. At Midway. three of the damaged Japanese ships were battleships, one of which was damaged severely.
 The United States lost the aircraft carrier Lexington, a tanker and destroyer in the Coral Sea and the carrier Yorktown at Midway as well as the destroyer Hamman. These losses were proportionately far small Ter than those of the Japanese. but important, nevertheless. because they reduced the striking power of the navy.
 Vital Victory At Midway
 The Coral Sea battle resulted from Japanese attempt to open a route for an attack on Australia and AL lied supply routes further south Two powerful Japanese striking forces were involved but were turned back. Apparently believing that the United States forces were concen- trated in the Southwest Pacific, the Japanese a month later launched

to move into New Guinea and south ward into the Solomons to chal- Ienge Australia and threaten Amer ican transpacific supply lines.
 "Send Us More Japs"
 Meanwhile, the Japanese also cap" tured Wake Island in December fol- lowing a bitter but one-sided strug- gle with the tiny marine garrison which produced two heroic phrases whic hwill go down in history. Ear ly in the fight, the outnumbered marines radioed, Send us more Japs." Their last message, sent as the Japanese were beginning to land at the end of a 16-day siege, said, The issue is in doubt"
 With Wake in their possession and the United States navy apparently crippled, Japan early in the war was in position to extend its bases In the Caroline and Marshall islands to the easternmost portion of the Mar shalls and southward into the Gil- bert Islands. Their Caroline and Marshall island bases already had been built up prior to the war m violation of international agree- ments.
 It was against the easternmost Japanese outposts that the United States navy delivered its first blow against the advance of the Rising Sun. Tn the cold dawn of Feb. l., a task force operating under com mand of Vice Admiral William F. tFighting Bib Halsey launched planes which dealt punishing blows to Kwajalien. Wotje. Maleolap and Jaluit islands which also were bonn. barded by American surface craft.
 The result of this first offensive action by the navy was destruction of several large. modern bases. a considerable amount of Japanese shipping and 38 planes. American losses were II aircraft and one mt- nor bomb hit on cruiser.
 This attack was followed on Feb g by a sea and air bombardment of Wake Island and a similar attack on Marcus Island, 990 miles southeast of Tokyo on March 4. These att tacks leveled military establishments and resulted in loss of three to seven Jap planes. a patrol boat. gunboat and barge. Only American losses were two scout bombers.
 Bomb Jap Cities
 On April l8. American army me- dium bombers roared over Tokyo, Nagoya, Yokohama and Kobe, spreading fire and destruction and providing one of the mysteries Of the war. The attack was carried out in clear weather in the middle of the day by planes flying at low al- titude. They dumped incendiary and explosive bombs on military, naval and industrial establishments in the four cities, starting fires and destroying objectives-but whence the bombers came and where they went never has been disclosed.
 h May and June were fought two

anese attacks. During this phase of the operations, the U. s. aircraft carrier Wasp was sunk by a Jap anese submarine.
 The United States was not able, however, to rrevent Jan '"~@''--' q" vital Guadalcanal in force late In September and in Octc.er, nG. tnt marines On Guadalcanal also were reinforced by U. s. army troops. At the same time, the Japanese con centrated major naval and transport forces in the northern Solomons.
 The Battle of Santa Cruz Island was fought on Oct. 26 when a U. $. force under Vice Admiral Halsey = who had succeeded Vice Admiral Robert Lee Ghormley as commander of naval forces in the south Pacific intercepted Japanese force nov ing southward near the Santa Cruz islands east of the So!omons. At the same time, heavy land fighting was underway On Guadalcanal.
 U. S. Wins Slugging Match
 The Japanese force was turned back. at least one of its carrier O.. the Zuikaku class heavily damaged and possibly sunk. and the other suffering from possible bomb hits, as well as cruisers and battleships dam aged. The United State lost it's fourth carrier and a destroyer n this engagement.
 The Japanese retired. but less than three weeks later they mace another thrust at Guadalcana!-the

This de- veloped into the first big surface en- gagement of the war, real slueeine match fought on two nights at close range involving all types of com ,atant surface craft, except carners Admiral Nmitz termed it the big rest surface battle engaged in by the U. s. Navy since the Civil War
 Outcome of this battle. fought Nov. l2-l6, was almost complete an- initiation of the large Japanese transport force and sinking or dam. aging of 28 Japanese warships or transports--the largest toll taken in any battle against the Japanese up to that time. The Unied Sates lost two cruisers and seven destroyers sunk
 Repulse of the Japanese force strengthened the United States hold on Guadalcanal and further weak ened the Japanese navy. At the same time, Gen. Douglas MacAr- thurs Allied forces were on the verge of throwing the Japanese out of New Guinea.
 AS the year drew to a close, the Allies in the Pacific could lcc.. .cr- ward to the immediate job of ex- ceiling the Japanese finally from New Guinea ard Guadalcanal. then starting northward on a drive ul- limately designed to wrest Japan's nswly-won empire from her ana bring her to her knees.

heavy attack designed to capture Midway and probably move on against Hawaii. The American vic- tory which presented this was tac- ticai one as well as a physical one, with the American high command outwitting the Japanese.
 In the Battle of Midway, in addi- ton to repulsing an attack which, If successful, might have knocked the United States out of the war in the Pacific, the Navy, Army and Ma rines Corps destroyed an important part of Japan's carrier strength the most important portion of any navy operating over the broad ex- panse of the Pacific.
 The subsequent two months were relatively quiet in the Pacific al- though the Japanese strengthened their positions in New Guinea, the Solomons and the Aleutians, having occupied positions in the latter group of islands while the Midway battle was being fought.
 On Aug. T. the United States made its first offensive move-tnvasion of the southeastern Solomon Islands.
 The initial landings were carried out successfully on Guadalcanal, Florida, Ttllagi, Gavutu and Tanam- bogo islands. On Guadalcanal, the marines seized a nearly-completed airfield-renamed Henderson Field and two weeks later American planes were operating off the field.
 Allies Lose { Cruisers
 The invasion of the Solomons ap- peared to be well underway and was hailed everywhere as the start of an offensive which would roll north- ward" However, as time went on and the Americans did not move against Japanese bases to the north, but, instead were subject to con- stant attack by the Japanese planes while enemy forces succeeded in landing in increasingly large num- bers on Guadacanal, it became evi- dent that something was amiss.
 Then it was revealed that on the night of Aug. 8, Allied naval forces off Savo Island at the northwestern end of Guadalcanal. in an attack by a force of Japanese cruisers and de- stroyers. lost the Australian cruiser Camberra, and the American cruis- CTS Astoria. Quincy and Vincenness in a short. vicious night engage ment.
 As the Solomons campaign devel- oped. it became apparent that the United States was having some dif- ficulty in supplying it's forces. How ever. American airmen held air su- periority and beat off repeated Jap-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-12-07

The Urited States, dealt a stag gering blow at this great naval oase one year ago today, has made a great recovery. won four important naval victories and captured oases in the Solomons whence an attack on Japanese bases may be launch ed. But the United States also has suffered important losses and at least one serious defeat.
 Japan. with a stronger navy than the United States a year ago ana fighting in her own backyard, has lost 5O2 ships sunk or damaged in the Pacific while the United states has lost 69. However, Japan IS fighting in one ocean, the United States in several and with only a one-ocean navy.
 Japan's losses seriously weakened Ter but hardly resulted inJeduclng her parity with the United States due to the necessary spreading of American forces over many oceans. The United States also suffered se- rious losses, particularly sinking of four aircraft carriers. The fast moving building program eventual lv will correct the disparity between the Japanese ard American navies and replace the lost carriers several fold. but this still is in the future.
 Japan Missed Chance
 Presumably the most serious im- mediate damage wrought by the Japanese in their treacherous raid on Oahu last Dec. ' was the virtual knockout of aircraft whose mission it was to protect the island and Pearl Harbor against attack. Com petent observers since have admit ted that had Japan followed up her Dec. ' attack here, the Rising sun might now be flyirg over Pearl liar bor.
 More spectacular was the damage done to naval vessels in Pearl Har- bor which had the effect of knock ing the navy back on its heels. pre- venting an immediate counterbioW or delivery of aid to American gar- risons at Wake and in the Philip pines.
 As Admiral Chester w. Nimitz told newsmen shortly after taking com mand of the U. s. Pacific fleet. We are behind the eight-ball." Three weeks ago, following the naval vic tory won in the Solonons Nov. l2-l6, he said, T don't feel that we are as close to the eight-ball as we were. We are getting further away so we can dodge around a bit"
 During the early discouraging days of the war following Dec. T, Japan swept southward and west ward. taking the Philippines after through Thailand and then into Ma laya where they captured Singapore. and down through the South Pacific islands capturing the Netherlands East Indies and the Bismarck Arch:- pelago. :.
