The surf that beached a fleet and devoured their time

Event: Nassau Bay amphibious assault
Date: June 30, 1943
Location: Nassau Bay, New Guinea
Commanders: Colonel Archibald R. MacKechnie, Commander Morton C. Mumma
Japanese Commander: Major Tsunendo Takamura

- Australian infantry units at Mubo and Bobdubi relied on fragile air supply routes over mountains.
- Commander Morton C. Mumma proposed seizing Nassau Bay to create an overland supply route and support future operations.
- Colonel Archibald R. MacKechnie was assigned to lead the ground component of the operation.
- Guide lights were placed on offshore islands and the landing beach to aid navigation in darkness.
- The Japanese garrison at Nassau Bay, led by Major Tsunendo Takamura, was small and oriented its defenses towards the Huon Gulf, not Nassau Bay itself.
