	The Admiralties:Invasion Planning
		Sea and air power linked the scattered garrisons and furnished the striking forces to meet Allied invasion; many harbors were available for shipping, and a network of airfields permitted quick transfer of planes for support of any threatened point.
		Naval and air forces were of major importance in the offensive: the navy to transport invading forces, protect their advance and supply lines from sea attack, and help reduce enemy coastal defenses; the air force to cover the amphibious attacks, neutralize enemy air power, and cooperate in the ground operations.
		It was reported that in a week Japanese air strength in the Bismarcks had dropped from 536 to 322 planes and that "it is probable the estimate is not keeping pace with developments." An intelligence report of 27 February spoke in terms of a strategic air withdrawal from the area.

		Described by General Douglas MacArthur as 'the decisive aerial engagement of the war in the Southwest Pacific', the brilliantly planned and conducted Battle of the Bismarck Sea smashed Japanese hopes of regaining the initiative in New Guinea and eliminated any possibility that Australia might be invaded.
		The triumph of American naval air power at Coral Sea and Midway in mid-1942 halted the Japanese advance towards New Guinea and Australia; and shortly afterwards the Australian victories (with American assistance) at Milne Bay and Kokoda weakened the enemy's hold on New Guinea.
		The Battle of the Bismarck Sea stands as one of the most stunning victories won in any theatre in World War 11, and as a crucial episode in the Battle for Australia.

		The find is part of a voyage of discovery by the RV Franklin to probe the mysteries of vast hydrothermal systems on the ocean floor, spewing out plumes of superheated mineral-rich fluids like those which formed giant ore bodies like Mt Isa and Broken Hill over a billion years ago.
		The RV Franklin berthed in Rabaul last Thursday (4 May) and is now moving from the Bismarck Sea into the Pacific with another research team.
		The geological setting of the volcanoes targeted by the second cruise is different from those of the Bismarck Sea, so any further discoveries will expand the range of modern ore-forming environments that scientists can use to understand how ore bodies formed in the past.
