r avy Releases Interring History Stowing
Trend Of War From Defensive To Offensive
? -- _ * ?.
The "Mike and Ike" of the United
States Navy's Pacific submarine
fleet?the Flasher and the Rasher?
together sank mere than 290,000 tons
of Japanese shipping to become the
highest scoring undersea units flying
the American" flag.
Flasher accounted for 100,231 tons,
while Rasher finished off 99,901 tons,
of which a total ? of nearly ?0,000
tons was plucked from a single con
voy. ? - - - }%r.
Also prominent on the Navy's list
is the submarine Archerfish, which
sank a 59,000-ton aircraft carrier?
the largest ever built.
Such nuggets of information are
contained in the report of destruc
tion of Japanese vessels just released
for publication by the ?Navy. Depart
ment. It is a comprehensive com
pilation based cm material derived
from authentic UMted 'States and
Japanese sources. ~
This report is the work of an as
sessment committee, set up by the
Navy and War Departments in Jan
uary, 1943, to determine the details
of navahand merchant marine losses
sustained by Axis powers during
World War IL ~ ?
Graphs and summaries of losses,
together with separate chronological
listings of naval and merchant ves
sel sinkings and an excellent index,
make*this publication a model of con
cisely assembled statistics. *
Japan's prewar merchant marine
had been credited with 2,337 ships
totaling 5,629345 tons. However,
these figures apparently were either
in error or Japan succeeded in con
structing many-more tons of ship
ping during the war than was
thought possible,'as the report shows
8,618,109 tons-to have been sunk.
The Japanese Navy lost 686 ships
having a total weight' of 1395,646
tons, of which 1,822,210 tons are
credited to United States forces.
Submarines sank 54 pa cent of the
total credited to United States
forces, surface craft three per cent,
Army aircraft seven per cent, Navy
and Marine airplanes ?4 per cent,
United States planted mines in Japa
nese waters six per cent, and miscel
laneous causes accounted for the re
maining six par cent A
In the losses credited to other Al
lied forces, submarines sank nearly
one half, the- other half being the
victims of a variety of mishaps.
During Russia's war upon Japan of
teas than a week's duration, that
country managed tp account for four
small ships with an aggregate
weight of leas than 10,000 tons.
Shore batteries are credited with
the destruction of four naval vessels
?including two destroyers sunk on
Dec. 11, 1041, when they ventured
within range of a Marine-manned
battery at Wake Island. The others
were sunk by batteries in the Neth
erlands East Indies. Apparently the
heavy batteries on Corregidor were
not given an opportunity to inflict
damage on naval units. ,j
First Japanese uaval vessel sunk
was a 1,786-ton submarine sent down
off Pearl Harbor on Dec. 10, 1941, by
a Navy plane, and the last was an
860-ton coastal patrol attributed to
a Russian plane in the Sea of Japan
on Aug. 15, 1946. - -
An Australian plane accounted for
the first Japanese merchant vessel, a
9,794-ton passenger-cargo ship sunk
on Dec. 8,1941, off. the northern tip
of Sumatra. This raises the question
of why such it ship was in that area
on that date. The fast merchant ves
sel sunk was sent down on Aug. 14,
1946, by a United States mine off the
west coast of Honshu Island.
Numerops instances are revealed
of submarines having hung onto con
voys for-a period of dkys, taking
their daily toll. The exasperation
and consternation of the Japanese
convoy commanders in such cases can
well be imagined. In November, 1948,
the Bowfln sank five ships from a
single convoy in three days.
. Beginning with the sinking of 18,
Bank to a tew of 1,715 tons in April,
giving the Japanese warlords ample
reason to congratulate themselves on
the success of their plan of cam
paign.
Thereafter, however, the monthly
rate of slpkings went up and down
following the activity of the cp*ir
paign waged at aoa by the United
States. In Juoe, 1942, the Ameri
can victory at Midway cost the
Japanese navy 121,645 tans, a total
not again reached until two yean
later when the Marianas campaign
brought the Japanese fleet out to
sustain a lots of 126,000 tons.
The Leyte campaign in 1944
ried Japan's- r .val losses to a new
high, 396,447 tons being sunk during
October and 214,827 tons in Novero
Bbflhings of Japanese merchant
shipping began with a modest 57,758
tons in December, 1941, but within a
year it was averaging well over 100,
000 tons a month.
During 1948, the average reached
about 160,000 tan a month* but the
banner year was 1944, with a month
IMS
648
Targets then became scarce, and
was not until July, when the tight
Ming coils ot the United States ad
vance <m the Japaneao mainland net
ted 146 ships aggreating nearly 310,
000 tons, that the former monthly
average gain was approached.
This bag was nearly all ga
in Japanese porta or in winters con
tiguous to the Nipponese archipela
go by mines and United States car
rier planes. ' h? ^cPPlSisHI
