Who was the leader of Tokyo bay battle of 1945?
There was definitely a battle in Tokyo Bay July 22, 1945. My dad was in that battle. Apparently there was talk of a medal being struck for participants but this never came to be. Is strange that this battle is largely unknown. Google it and read the battle's fascinating particulars. It happened right after midnight and was a quite tense situation. There was no battle in Tokyo Bay in 1945. There was a surrender ceremony, where the Japanese formally signed the documents of surrender aboard the USS Missouri. This was about three weeks after the second A Bomb had been dropped on Japan. Several days after that bombing the Japanese agreed to surrender. What happened in Tokyo Bay was the formal conclusion of that agreement. US ships sailed unopposed into Tokyo Bay. The Japanese had been instructed to have a white flag hanging from the muzzle of each of their shore guns. The Japanese delegation was brought out to the Missouri by boat. US Army General Douglas MacArthur presided for all the Allied nations. Generals of several Allied nations were present. Admiral William Halsey was the commander of the US Navy Task Force, of which the Missouri was a part.
