Note the report in columns 6-7: "Jap Submarines Raid Diego Suarez, Fail To Score On British Warships" |
(The Admiralty denied the Japanese claim that a Queen Elizabeth class battleship and a cruiser had been damaged in THE attack against Diego Suarez. No cruiser had been hit, but the Queen Elizabeth class battleship HMS Ramillies had been badly damaged by a midget submarine launched by I-20. This attack, the Japanese midget submarine attack on Sydney Harbor and the attack against the Aleutian Islands were a feint by the Japanese to distract the Americans before the planned attack on Midway Atoll on June 4th. The distraction failed because U.S. codebreakers, under the command of Commander Joe Rochefort, had broken the Japanese code and knew of the planned attack against Midway. The Battle of Midway was one of the most significant turning points of the Pacific war and Rochefort should have been decorated for his accomplishment, but because he got sideways with several higher-ups in the intelligence community in Washington, D.C., the petty nature of such small men denied him what he had earned and even had him removed from his duties at Pearl Harbor, putting the country and the lives of U.S. military personnel at risk.) |
