WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008[edit]

Article reassessed and graded as start class. --dashiellx (talk) 18:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where is Ishikawajima?[edit]

Ishikawajima was given as the final location of Ugaki in a 2008 edit. Does anyone know where this is? GMaps has never heard of it, and the linked articles refer to two companies in Tokyo. Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:34, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The only Ishikawajima I am aware of is Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI). I suspect there is no beach called Ishikawajima, or perhaps it was translated incorrectly. Xenomorph erotica (talk) 00:08, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The name appears to have been corrected to Iheyajima Island, which is in the Okinawa Islands.--Death Bredon (talk) 16:47, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

?[edit]

United_States_Merchant_Marine_Academy#American_Merchant_Marine_Museum: "The museum inside the Barstow Mansion officially opened on May 20, 1979. Inside you will find an extensive collection of nautical art, models, tools and other artifacts that span decades of maritime history. One highlight of the collections is a Japanese sword that was surrendered by Vice Admiral Matomu Ugaki to Supreme Allied Commander and General of the Army Douglas MacArthur on October 18, 1945. The sword on display is one of only five in existence." Not in line with the information here. See the dates.--Stunteltje (talk) 10:48, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1st Battleship Division "severe damage"[edit]

The article states that Ugaki was in command of the 1st Battleship Division comprising Nagato, Yamaton and Musashi during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea on October 24th, 1944, and that "...from the fall of 1944 to the summer of 1945 all three ships would be severely damaged by overwhelming strikes by U.S. carrier-based planes." In fact, Musashi was sunk by US carrier aircraft already during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea on the 24th of October 1944 while Yamato was sunk by carrier aircraft on April 7th, 1945 during Operation Ten-Go. The only ship of the three to survive to the aforementioned summer of 1945 was the Nagato, which was the only Japanese battleship to survive the war with fairly light damage and was finally sunk in the Operation Crossroads nuclear tests in 1946.--Death Bredon (talk) 16:42, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
