With the loses of their naval bases in these parts of the world, warships of the United States and Great Britain have been made into inglorious baseless vagabonds of the high seas. .... Most of them have been sent to the bottom by Japanese warships which have swept Anglo-American ships clean of these waters.Actually, this was almost true. The Americans needed to do something to restore their confidence. Therefore, Admiral Halsey planned and President Franklin Roosevelt approved of a bombing raid on Tokyo.
