What did the Japanese fail to strike during their attack on Pearl Harbor?
The Fleet's fuel supply depot, drydocks, repair facilities and the missing aircraft carriers.
Where did the surviving Japanese aircraft at the Battle of Midway land?
The surviving Japanese aircraft from the Battle of Midway primarily landed on their aircraft carriers, such as the Akagi, Kaga, and Hiryu, before those ships were ultimately sunk. Some aircraft managed to return to other vessels or were forced to ditch in the ocean due to fuel shortages. However, the intense combat and the loss of their carriers meant that very few aircraft returned safely to Japan.
How did the Japanese win against Pearl Harbor?
The Japanese sunk many USA battleships, other surface ships, and destroyed a lot of planes. The Japanese really lost at Pearl Harbor. They failed to sink any aircraft carriers, destroy the fuel storage tanks at Hawaii, or the dry docks. What the surprise attack did was to unite the USA will a vengeance and result in the rallying cry: Remember Pearl Harbor. It was only a few months later at the Battle of Midway, that four Japanese aircraft carriers were sunk to lose of one USA aircraft carrier and from then on, it was only a matter of time before Japan was defeated.
When The Japanese attacked on December 7 1941.?
launched a surprise attack on the U.S Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor.
Federal or state tax on gasoline?
Vague question. Both types of taxes are collected on gasoline. For interstate commerce carriers, the Interstate Fuel Tax Assessment programme is in place to properly gage road use tax, fuel tax, etc. for carriers who operate in multiple states. For intrastate carriers, a state (DOT) exemption number may be issued, and they will only have to display a fuel tax sticker for the state they are operating in.
Was there a compromise in the bombing in Pearl Harbor?
Yes, instead of launching the third wave which was to target fuel storage facilities and repair drydocks at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese Fleet elected to head back to their home port in case the missing US carriers made an appearance.
Which carriers from the UK do flights to Phuket?
Effectively all carriers fly to Phuket. However, not all of them offer a direct flight. Most fly through a central point where either a transfer or re-fuel will be required.
What stopped the Battle of Midway?
Really only the need of the US Navy to be careful about hazarding its precious carriers brought the action to an end. The US had only three carriers in the Pacific, and all three were at Midway. One was lost, so that left only two. The US had sank all four of the Japanese carriers in the battle, so there was no great prize left to be won by following the Japanese and continuing the attack, though the Navy did follow for about two days and sank a couple of heavy cruisers. The smaller ships of the fleet were very low on fuel by this time, and underway refueling from the larger ships would have meant exposing them to the risk of submarine attack as they sailed along a straight course linked by fuel hoses, unable to zigzag. Japanese subs were known to be in the area. The goal of the fleet in giving battle to the numerically superior Japanese force had been to prevent the Japanese from being able to land and capture Midway Island, and this had been achieved. So, all in all, the best thing under the circumstances was to break off the pursuit and return to base, to refuel, rearm, and replace lost aircraft.
Why did the Japanese lose the Battle of Midway?
A chain of twisted fates and some advanced knowledge of Japanese battle plans. 1. The US breaks the Japanese naval code thus giving them knowledge of Japanese plans and intentions. This allows Admiral Nimitz to position his ships to best defend Midway. 2. The Japanese Fleet dispatches a Japanese Destroyer to locate and chase down a suspected US Submarine; The fleet continues on it's mission. The lone Destroyer hunts for the US Submarine, can't locate it; then plays catch-up trying to get back to the main body (the fleet). 3. Disorientated (nearly lost) & almost out of fuel US Navy attack planes luckily see the wake of the sub chasing Japanese Destroyer trying to catch up to it's main body. Since the US Planes couldn't locate the Japanese Fleet; this destroyer will lead them right to it. 4. At the very same time all of this is going on, Japanese SEARCH planes (Reconnaissance Aircraft) have all reported "Negative SITREPS" (Situation Reports) on enemy (US) aircraft carriers. All but one. Unknown to all involved, the reconnaissance airplane that COUNTS is having radio problems. 5. Since all but one recon plane has reported negative sightings on US Carriers, and the Midway Attack Force is requesting a second (or third) air strike, the fleet commander must either arm the attack airplanes with bombs for the strike or wait on the missing scout planes report; if there's a US Carrier out there, torpedoes must be installed on the aircraft to "take out" the US Carrier. 6. In the midst of the re-arming of the aircraft on the flight decks for BOMBS, the missing scout plane finally sends in it's report: US CARRIER SIGHTED. 7. Now bombs must be removed from the planes and torpedoes installed. 8. During this frantic un-arming of bombs and re-arming with torpedoes, those "lost and nearly out of fuel" US Dive Bombers and Torpedo planes show up. The torpedo planes attack seperately and the Japanese fighters decimate the US torpedo squadrons. However, the fighter cover is drawn down to wave top altitude, so the US dive bombers plunge down unmolested and take out three of the four large Japanese carriers. Nothing explodes a carriers flight deck like tons of bombs, torpedoes, and airplane fuel when attacked by dive bombers!
Did the Japanese navy run out of fuel during world war 2?
Yes, fuel was in very short supply for Japan's military & civilian sectors the entire war. By 1944, Japanese ships were stationed closer to the supplies of oil in the Dutch East Indies & British Malaya. The Japanese Navy began using unrefined oil instead of refined fuel oil for its ships. This caused mechanical problems for these ships, however the Japanese had to do this because of the shortage of fuel. The Japanese had a shortage of oil production & refining facilities, a shortage of oil tankers to move oil & fuel around, and a lack of understanding of modern military logistics.
What were the motives behind the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?
Their desire was to sink the carriers which were not in port at the time, the number two targets were the battleships and the third target was the fuel tanks at Pearl Harbor. The battleships were badly damaged but over time all but one returned to service at least for a short time. The third wave was never launched for fear of having their fleet discovered so the fuel reserves were never attacked.
How many fuel efficient cars are there in the us?
Almost all the Japanese cars! ;D
