The Avenger's bomb released on landing - did they make it?
In this episode, we follow the ten-day carrier raid into the South China Sea in January 1945 and the chain of decisions that set the fleet on a collision course with danger. What happens when an operation built on faulty intelligence still produces major strategic effects, and who pays the price?
Date: January 21, 1945
Person: Admiral William Halsey
Event: Carrier raid into the South China Sea
Location: USS Hancock, flight deck / South China Sea
Outcome detail: Bomb released from landed TBF Avenger, explosion killed and wounded sailors
- Halsey pushed for a South China Sea operation after watching Japanese shipping lanes since autumn 1944 and requested permission on November 21, 1944.
- Nimitz initially refused, then granted conditional approval on December 28, 1944, requiring confirmation of major Japanese fleet units in the target area.
- On January 10, 1945, nine hundred aircraft and a carrier force entered the South China Sea after transiting the Bashi Channel undetected.
- Search aircraft on January 12 found only escort vessels at Cam Ranh Bay, failing to confirm the Ise-class battleships intelligence had placed there.
- Despite the missing battleships, the force struck convoys, tankers, harbors, and warships across Indochina and nearby coasts over ten days.
