Talk:Japanese submarine I-169

“The Allies chose to bypass Truk”..Correction?
While the Allies chose not to OCCUPY Truk they did pummel the base February 17-20 1944 in Operation Hailstone which lasted for three days, as American carrier-based planes sank twelve smaller Japanese warships (light cruisers, destroyers, and auxiliaries) and thirty-two merchant ships, while destroying 275 aircraft, mainly on the ground. The consequences of the attack made "Truk lagoon the biggest graveyard of ships in the world". I would hardly call this a “bypass” 216.7.145.194 (talk) 10:18, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
