Notes

1 Canberra was only one of a number of losses suffered by the Australians in the early part of the Pacific War. Britain therefore arranged the transfer of heavy cruiser HMS Shropshire to the Royal Australian Navy, with which she later served with distinction.

2 This was what it was called by its defenders and the Marine Corps still gives this name to the battle that was to come. In reality, though, the river was the Ilu, having been wrongly identified on the Americans’ inadequate maps.

3 The word ‘maru’ included in the name of Japanese merchant vessels was one added to the names of aristocrats’ sons during Japan’s feudal age. To give it to a ship implies a personality, in the same way as Europeans or Americans call a vessel not ‘it’ but ‘she’.
