	The fall of Ambon
		The view of the Dutch command was that the a Japanese landing on the steep, jungle-covered south coast of Laitimor Peninsula was impracticable, and Laha was inaccessible by inland routes.
		The Japanese were repulsed by the outnumbered platoon of Australians on the north east of the airfield and the next day, as the Japanese were being reinforced by troops from infiltrating past Paso, mortar and machine-gun fire was exchanged.
		Japanese witnesses said the executions were a reprisal for loss off life caused when a Japanese minesweeper W 9 was struck by a Dutch mine in the Bay of Ambon on the 2 February.

	Battle of Komandorski Island: 27 March 1943 by Vincent P. O'Hara
		The Japanese fleet was sailing due north led by Nachi, Maya, light cruiser Tama, another 5th Fleet veteran, destroyers Wakaba, Hatsushimo, light cruiser Abukuma, destroyer Ikazuchi, fast transports Asaka Maru, and Sakito Maru and finally destroyer Inazuma.
		At the same time Japanese lookouts on Nachi were clarifying their earlier report “with the help of cards on which sketches indicated the characteristics of foreign vessels.” The two forces sailed on roughly parallel courses with the Americans 20nm southeast of the Japanese.
		The Japanese inflicted more damage than they received, but strategically, they were defeated as their transports returned to base without delivering the supplies so badly needed by the isolated Aleutian garrisons.

	Advanced Japanese Destroyers of World War II
		Japanese torpedoes had very long ranges; but the best shot for torpedoes is always as close as possible, and the best circumstances for close shots are at night.
		For the time being, that all but knocked the American cruisers, like the Japanese, out of the war; and, mercifully, it was about the end of the line for the "Gun Club." American destroyers finally came into their own with victory in the battle of Vela Gulf, 6/7 August 1943.
		In subsequent battles in the Solomons, the Japanese were without all of their previous advantages, and their reliance on destroyers to carry the brunt of supply as well as combat actions simply meant a terrific attrition in the destroyer force.

	Submarine Hero - Samuel David Dealey
		Floodlighted by a bright moon and disclosed to an enemy destroyer escort which bore down with intent to attack, CDR Dealey quickly dived to periscope depth and waited for the pursuer to close range, then opened fire, sending the target and all aboard down in flames with his third torpedo.
		Then, in the face of Japanese sniper fire only partially suppressed by the circling aircraft, a rubber boat was sent in to retrieve the flier, ENS John Galvin, who was brought to safety in what soon became a legendary rescue.
		On 10 June, Harder sighted a large Japanese task force that included three battleships, four cruisers, and their screening destroyers, but she was spotted by an enemy airplane, and one of the escorts pressed an attack.

		Despite Japanese snipers, boiling shoals, and the precarious position of the submarine, the daring rescue succeeded, and the intrepid submarine returned to the open sea.
		As one of the destroyers turned to attack, Harder submerged, turned her stern to the charging destroyer, and fired three torpedoes at range of 1100 yards (1000 m).
		The premature departure upset the Japanese battle plans, and forced Ozawa to delay his carrier force in the Philippine Sea, thus contributing to the stunning defeat suffered by the Japanese in the ensuing battle.

		The Japanese were sighted at 1405 over Florida Island, dividing into two groups, and Turner was a past master at this sort of thing -- he presented his broadside to the group to the northeast and tempted them to attack first rather than wait for the southeasterly group to get into position.
		What Callaghan seems to have intended was to cruise the Guadalcanal coast closely, and when the Japanese were detected,to turn athwart their course and "cross the T", so that only the lead guns of the lead ships could effectively reply to all of his, firing broadside.
		ATLANTA was probably swinging past north, in the middle of a series of turns to starboard; she had a destroyer 2000 yards off the port bow and another one 1600 yards to port.

		Her first two patrols were in Japanese home waters where, operating alone, she sank four cargo ships.
		Twelve days later, she sank the destroyer Ikazuchi in an action summarized by Commander Samuel D. Dealey: "Expended four torpedoes and one Jap destroyer." Following a three-week layover at Fremantle, on May 26 Harder sailed with USS Redfin in search of Japanese destroyers in the Celebes Sea north of Borneo.
		This rash of activity by one submarine is credited with upsetting the Japanese battle plan for what became the Battle of the Philippine Sea: Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa's First Mobile Fleet was forced to sail from the anchorage at Tawi Tawi earlier than intended.

		Subject: Re: Destroyer identification On May 13th, 1940 Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was taken to Britain on the destroyer HMS Hereward.
		HMS Hereward was an 'H' Class destroyer built by Vickers-Armstrong on the Tyne in 1936 and, at least for a time, mounted a twin 4.7 inch mount, presumably similar to those fitted to the Tribal Class, in addition to singles.
		All the earlier destroyers (Z1-Z22; see various references or web pages for names) took part except Z1, Z3 (both sunk Feb 1940), Z4, Z7, Z14 and Z20 (all four in refit) and Z10 (kept as a reserve) - ten of these are still on fjord-beds in Ofotfjord and surrounding fjords.
