South Seas Detachment in the Japanese invasion of Australia[edit]

I have removed the following section from this entry. As the South Seas Detachment was only brigade sized it is extremely unlikely that the Japanese intended to use it to invade Australia. Other statements attributed to Kenosuke Sato in other entries are clearly inaccurate, and this appears to also be the case for the following paragraph. --Nick Dowling 10:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In accord with Kenosuke Sato, Japanese Navy theoretician, such force combined with Navy units, are the force under lead of General Tomoyuki Yamashita,was charged to putting in practice the Japanese Invasion to Australia, but at disacord in strategic planning,with Prime Minister Hideki Tojo,fate of Battle of Midway,why impede the use of sea transports in operation and changes provocated by Japanese Army operations in Burma invasion, such operation was delayed,for finally stopped and changed the objectives to Port Moresby area.

Plagerism[edit]

Much of the text appears to be copied verbatim from Hayashi's Kogun book. I'll try to rewrite some of it in the immediate future to avoid the appearance of plagerism. Cla68 (talk) 01:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology/South Seas Detachment/South Seas Force/South Seas Fleet/4th Fleet (IJN)[edit]

There is some confusion in the terminology used herein and by uses in other pages with interconnected links.

Bullard (see p iii) uses South Seas Force for the army formation and describes the South Seas Fleet as being based around the 4th Fleet (IJN). Herein, these are correspondingly referred to as the South Seas Detachment and the South Seas Force. There is an obvios ambiguity when the different terminologies are used in pages with interconnected links. I would suggest a preference for Bullard and amendments to address and explain. Comments please.
