• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Raid on Truk

This movie does not it clear, but did we conduct just one hit-and-run raid on Truk? Which I consider impossible... how many times did we hit that base; I thought that Truk was one of toughest nuts to crack besides Rabaul.:help:
 
Two days of day and night strikes by task force 58's 9 carriers put Truk out of commission. After Hailstone, whatever was left at Truk was basically bypassed and left to "die on the vine". Japanese had no ability to resupply or support Truk, as US forces ruled the surrounding seas and skies.
