View the 1945 Naval Armada Set to Invade Japan
This is phenomenal…! An Armada of ships and airplanes poised for the invasion of Japan…that never happened…because President Truman authorized the dropping of A bombs at Nagasaki and Hiroshima that resulted in the Japanese surrender. Just think of the American lives that would have been lost had this invasion occurred. Sadly most Americans today know nothing about this and the sacrifices made by those before us. We are not teaching US history in our schools anymore….
Some great pictures of the Ulithi armada! US Naval armada deployed for invasion of Japan. There will never be another assemblage of naval ships like this again.
Staging area for the invasion of Japan. Check out the carriers on "Murderer's Row."
