Called Planned Suicide.
The Navy believes, unofficially,
that most of the planes that staged
the recurring and criss-cross Pearl

of the Navy and the fastest ships
still afloat after the bombings never
found trace of the carriers that
must have brought the planes.
The Japs lost % aircraft because
OF Navy action. In addition, three
submarines of IS tons each were
taken. (The Army did not amplify
on the Navy's reports of its losses
or its damage to the enemy)
