When did Admiral Nagumo die?

  • 11 November 1942, Nagumo was re-assigned back to Japan, he was given command of the Sasebo Naval District.
  • 21 June 1943 he transferred to the Kure Naval District .
  • From October 1943-February 1944, Nagumo was again Commander in Chief of the IJN 1st Fleet, which was largely involved in training duties by that time.

As the war situation continued to deteriorate against Japan, Nagumo was once again given a combat command. He was sent to the Mariana Islands.

  • 4 March 1944 as commander in chief of the short-lived IJN 14th Air Fleet, and simultaneously commander in chief of the equally short-lived Central Pacific Area Fleet.
  • 15 June 1944 began the invasion of Saipan. Within days the IJN under Vice Admiral Jisaburō Ozawa were overwhelmed by the US 5th Fleet in the decisive Battle of the Philippine Sea costing Japan approximately 500 aircraft. Nagumo and his Army peer General Yoshitsugu Saito then were left on their own to defend the island of Saipan against the American assault.
  • On 6 July, during the last stages of the Battle of Saipan, Nagumo committed suicide; not in the traditional method of seppuku, but rather a pistol to the temple. His remains were later found by U.S. Marines in the cave where he spent his last days as the commander of the Saipan defenders.He was posthumously promoted to admiral.

How many Japanese were part of the attack on Pearl Harbor?

Soldiers were not involved. The attack was carried out by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). Therefore "naval aviators" from 6 IJN aircraft carriers actually carried out the attack. These pilots flew bombers, dive bombers, torpedo bombers and fighters. There were approximately 350 planes involved in two waves. The planes were crewed by 1 to 3 airmen. Also, 5 midget submarines were released by a "mothersub" outside of Pearl Harbor. They were to sneak inside the harbor attack the ships of the 7th Fleet at the same time as the air attack. Each sub was crewed by 2 men.

Hope this helps.

Did the isolationists blame roosevelt for the attack on Pearl Harbor?

Not so much the isolationists as Republicans. These were not necessarily the same people. Congress began a Congressional Investigation into the attack in 1945, just as the war was ending, and Roosevelt was dead. The Republican members sought to construe evidence and testimony to tend to support their theory that Roosevelt had wanted the Japanese to attack Pearl Harbor to get the US into the war. This was a ridiculous theory then and now, but the Republicans were anxious to regain some power in Washington and hated Roosevelt (and still do). So they foisted this mass of lies on the people for partisan political reasons, hoping to get themselves and more Republicans elected (think Sarah Palin and her "Death Panels" - same basic plan).

In 1941 did the Japanese attacked Clark Field?

The three reconnaissance B-17s were taxiing out for the initial photographic mission to Formosa when about 200 Japanese aircraft struck. Unfortunately, all the P-40 fighters had been recalled for refuelling and were on the ground. . At the end of the day's action it was apparent that the Japanese had won a major victory. The effective striking power of Far East AF had been destroyed, the fighter strength had been seriously reduced, most B-17 maintenance facilities were demolished, and about 80 men were killed. The sole surviving B-17 had not taken off on the morning alert, and had been taken up in the air while the rest were being prepared for the Formosa raid. The Fortresses at Del Monte 500 miles to the south were out of range of the Zeros from Formosa and were left untouched.

At Clark Field, three or four of the damaged B-17s were put back into service. They were joined by the B-17s from Del Monte. By December 9, reconnaissance missions were being undertaken by the 19th Bombardment Group in search of the Japanese fleet. Also, the 17th Pursuit Squadron (Interceptor), 24th Pursuit Group (Interceptor), based at Nichols Field were transferred to Clark with P-40's.

On December 10, a Japanese convoy was spotted, and five B-17s were dispatched. This was the first American bombardment mission of World War II. No fighter opposition was encountered, and some hits were recorded on the transports.

Why is albemarle settlement call rogues harbor?

The settlers were mostly young folks who had fulfilled the terms of their indentured servitude in the Virginia colony and set off through the wilderness to the wild shores of the Albemarle Sound in the mid-17th century. This was before the charter for the Carolina colony had been granted to the Lords Proprietors, meaning that the settlement was out of reach of any authority in its first years. It tended to attract "rogues" ( at least as they were described by the wealthy planters and traders in Virginia) who preferred to live outside the reach of authority,

Why wasn't the USS. Oklahoma placed back into service?

It was too badly damaged. It was hit by at least five aerial torpedoes (possibly nine), which caused it to flood on the port (left) side that caused it to capsize to port in Pearl Harbor. When it capsized, the upper superstructure came to rest on the muddy harbor bottom. Because it was one of the most heavily damaged battleships, it was salvaged after the others. It was not until late in 1943 that it was righted & refloated.
