a. Strategv'
(1) Reliable intoll1gcnCo concerning the June 'J.!ining
Numbers 18 to 31 confirmed the conclueions in planning
thcso c1$sions. The shipping ntt:l.cks by friondly Submarines and Fleot
Air One in the Yellow Sea and at tho southern tip of Korea
definitely forced the enemy to withdraw his the YellOW
SCa into tho Sea of Japan, It was believed that this withdrawnl was
vory much hJ;.stoned by tho decroo.so in the lUIlOunt of shipping o.vp.iI
Qble to thee. :l. major part of this loss being occnsioned by mining
ca.suo.lties.
(2) Fewer and fewor shipS were aOOn by Fleet ;'ir ''11ng
Ono during month, Reconnaissnnce very strongly indicated
the :1,o;:ount of trClffic through tho lnInnd arcQ..s had decrec.sed to
a very small amount in.sofar nS shipping with the .s1%0 of 1000 tons
or ovor wa.s concerned, ThO enemy still m(ldo usa of the Shimonosck1
rogion for unloading, but it nppoarod that the majority of
tho ships did not pasS through the Straits but unloaded at tho
various Straits ports. Howevcr, tho anchor::--gcs at l!atsuro and He So.ki
nppeared to be complotoly nbandoncd. as had tho principlll port of J,ioji.
no shipping h::t.ving been scon in theso o.nChoragcs or ports in tho re-
conn:!.iss:l.r.cc of thc area during the l:lOnth. This y'::.s regarded as an
espocially important cllse 0:'1 tho part of ::oji, which contains princip::.l
IO::t.ding facilitios in tho aroll. Shipping continuod to use ports at
Shinonoseki which hlld not yet boen Ilnd other ports on
the edges of tho Straits. sr.ips now anchoring in tho swift
Current of tho Strait itself, Those parts of the Shimonosoki Str::t.its
were not suitable for mining of swift currents, although
ll!ining of the of the Strait:::' Cho.nnols ::t.Pl1oc.rod to be possible,
(3) During the month of Juno. N'nvy Submarines had mnde
a sortie into tho Sen of Japnn and had destroyed approximately 80.000
tons of shipping there, forcing the enemy to adopt cenvoy ttl.ctics and
tanding to ro-route his traffic into night routes, taking shelter
during tho day in sheltered anchorages. Flight .,ir "ring One continued
to attack Shipping in the southorn tip of Koren :md mo.de Iln increo.sing
:lUDber of sorties across Tsushioa Straits itself. The enomy shipping
situation at the beginning of the month, therefore. was the concentra-
tion of most of his lM.jor shipping within thO Sea of Japan in tho
hoart of thlJ Inner Zone, and with mo.jor USJ of lnrge ships abnndoncd
the Outer Zone. This shipping hed as 1 tcrninus the ports of ao.st
Korea stretching between Pusan, R::t.shin, ::t.nd Yuki On one end, and
ports bctween Karatsu in Kyushu and Funnknwu on northwest Honshu ::LS
other termini, with little or no shipping into the Inland Sen.
A (lI:ount of inports of coal and fish jlrOdl!ctcs still p::Lssed into
north Honshu from Hokknido vi::t. railroad ferrios there.

of July, a.CCount taken of <l. other a.!:enc1es "hieh were preparin!:
to Shipping in tho Innor Zone.

M'
"spool:l.11y to the rflllrol1d ferries bet_on tho 2 lsllU1ds, o.n
anti-shipping sorties planned ngalnst Honshu ports
and Funako.wo.. attacks were plnnncd by the Flect
o.lrer:!t facilities between the regions of KUTO and Tokyo, with ll.
litron,!!; possibility that atto.cks on enemy sh.ipping wero to be made by
$urfo.ce and Fnst Carrier Forces. Furthor attocks were 0.180
planned at shipping at FuslUl Shimonoseki. There was ovory possi-
bil1ty tho.t tho Fleet would continue to ott:\c!: stlipplng over tho entire
region from Shimonoseki to Rokkaido, including such
ports as J'o.i zuru.
(7) The third forci) o.blG to contribu to an appreCiable
oxtent W$re the air agencies basod on Iwo on ship-
ping strikes in the goneral Tokyo region.
(8) Tentative plans also existed for durin& July
of attacks against shipping by friendly inside the 503 of
J:::.p:;:.n.
(9) It WaS that as 0. result of the heavy prossuro
in tho south Korean and Straits region. tho.t shipping would
probably shift during tho tlOnth in such a W'J.y to :l.b3ndon the south
KoroQn ports o.nd possibly the Str:::.its itself. If the Fleet's
strikes on HOkko.ldo successful, shipping Hokk:::.ido would be
very greo.tly reduced bec:::.use of the destruction of port fo.cilities Md
sinking of shipping in the harbors. The tendoncy would bo to drive
shipping to ports lying betweon Yuyc. :7:;:.n and F'unclc":lwo. on northwest
?Anshu lind Gcnz:ln to R:::.shin on Korea.
(10) There was increasing evido;,ce that the 'onemy' s counter
mOasures -"ere becoming more successful in tho ports which ho.vo boon
ninod for a. long time. This is attributed to soveral factors, 1 of
Vlhich is the probability tho.t the enemy's mine is becoming in-
creasingly efficient. The Jo.po.nese continued to uso searchlights to
loco.to positions in which minos h:::.d droppod to usc o.ircra.ft to
escort mine-bying aircraft to determine their dropping positions.
(11) On the basis of technical tests c!:trried out o.t Oahu
on the A-S relcase mechanism. and on reliable intolligence, it
bolieved that the could bo easily swept by the enemy. so tho.t its
effoctiveness WaS greatly
... . (12) The enemy's new mo.gnetic appeo.rod in numbers.
ihlS SWOep was tho faoo.ting loop typo and is considered to bo a very
offectivo countor m.. usure ago.inst tho modified IJQ.&netic minos. No
dofinite method of defoo.ting it appeared to bo feasible by further
modification of tho mo.gnetic minos and reduction in their effectiveness
was expected. The mechanism w::.s still rogo.rded o.s unsweopo.blo.
(13) The plan for July was limited by logistic
tions in tho.t only 0. limited number of ma.gnotic l:Iine$ o.nd of unsweep.
ablo k6 aech:lnisms _oro available, _ith a very considerablo
o.coustics on hand. It _o.e conaidorcd. ho.cver, that tho enemy

or derenseS. It was, howover, essential to Maintain the
of the Straits tho portl of
Qnd Fushiki ond other Dnjor northwest Honshu ports until attacks Y
other ngencies could be complotely implementod. This would probably
not bo possiblo until some timo in Soptembor.

closed. Tho of ship traCfic there os chown by
was about ono-tenth of cstleoted fOT tho oarly months DC tho
It wos necessary to molntoin this blockado at all costs.
(15) Those decisiOnS were impler.'lentod in directives to
the l7ing given in An:lex F, the r.:lvisions necessitClted by the
success of Fleet Clnd by the succoss of Fleet Air One
in destroying rnil trnffic to tho Fuson uhich had brought
a reduction in traffic thore, Reliablo evidence Cllso indicated
that considerable improvoment in enemy countor moaSures. especially
in thG of tho floating loop sweep. Tho overa.ll
result was Q reduction in tho length of closure being obta.incd. The
enooy a.?pcnred to concentrate sweeping in areaS. BeCause of
tho encmy's withdrawul to Korco.n torl:lini botwecn Gcnzo.n Qnd R:J,shin.
it '7::1S considercd elisontinl to provent llny ship movement at SCisMn
and R::l.shin by tl. very haa.vy mining a.tto.ck. The some ovidence indicllted
th:::.t cining of ports of Fushiki nnd Niigat:l. becoeing less Clnd
less effective.
(16) Tho genorlll conclusion in rogc.rd to cine P p:lFation
was thtl.t the .1,.6 mechanism Wl:,S unsweepable; th:.t the ;,.-3 nnd ,,-5 cech-
anisms werc CClsily swoepablo, and that the mechanisms would
rQpidly become sweepable during the month of tho
of tho enemy's new flollting loop sweep, which was evaluated as being
:lD effective sweep. It was Qlso Considered the enemy would
and usc of clearance mathods, as indicated by
his extensive usc of mine watches. ;,11 of this strongly necC:lssittl.tod
the use of arming delays tl.nd ship counts on the magnetic and ::lcoustic
mechanisms in order to defoat swaeping methods, except where clearance
i:lcthods 1I'0uld b3 e::l.sy beCause of good mine watch end geogrnphy
(l7) There was tl. strong indication that tho ::lverago she
of operable shipping tended toward smtl.l1er sil'.O ships than in previous
months and the s1ze of this shipping waS rc-cvaluatod.
(18) On the basis of this re-ev111u!ltlon, directives for
prcparation of minelS during July wore given to tho 313th Wing as given
in .:.nnex F. This dircctivo was further implomented by recommendations
by the !.line lIodifico.t1on Unit given in hnnox F.

much as possible was out on Group level.
(b) The selection of a?proache3 and mlne-layl"l;
runs was influonced mainly by radar reference points and the most
favorable axis of attack to place a number of minos 1n the
channels. Antiotrcrllft concentrations were 0.1110 taken into considera_
tion, but in scverctl casas it was neeessnry to ponetrate areas pro-
tected by heavy flak concentrations in order to place the mines where
they could be most effective. In the Shimonosoki Stratts the
axis of attock and altitudes wero varied ne vndely possible; also
missions over the heavily defended areaS wore only scheduled when the
chances were favorable for on undercast. and thon using maximum radar

PART III _ lmU:'C RESULTS
I. Intelli!:ence on the closure erfect of this ptuso of mining
indicated the ports of Honshu, Japanese counter wore
iaprovin!: and that, on the closure effect was probably from
2S to sQ:C less it h:l.d been previously. In the C:l.se of FUllhiki,
it Was believed that substantially no closure was being aChieved dur-
inG this phase, Closure of the ports of Koren WQS somewhat longer than
that at Honshu ports. However, evidence on the Korenn situation was
fo,r from cOl:lplete. It ",Q.e believed th:l.t tho enllay "'0.5 unprepored to
mining in :l.nd the longer closure noted
to be expected.
2. It waB of interest to note that over 100,000 tons had been
photOGraphed there a few months earlier. During the course of these
operations, evidence beeWlle availahle that FOTce 0poTlltions hid
sunk or dnr.to.ged 1111. with the pO$sible excej1tion of I or 2, of the
rail ferries; tho voluoe of shipping at R3.shin, in
northern Kore:l._ was aad the of shipping :l.t FUIl:l.n
Tms decreasing (possibly because in pnrt by successful nir attacks
against rail bridges on lines leading into Fusan). bs a result of that
inforrnatin. it was deemed advisable to augment the effort against
n order to o.ccomplish th::-..t end, it w.:'.S necessary to
the efort other targets.
3. NiIgata. Fushiki, and
the schedule of targets beCause of that shIp traffIc
WaS decreasing :l.t the port, or the enemy waS successfully sweeping our
cines ttt the port. The steert diverted fro.n those SPOTtS 1'I;:'S scheduled
for largely, although some missions '.'lore planned tlga.inst sm:t.ller
POTtS on the Ja.pan Sea. Coast of Honshu wheTS ':-"1l. increase in ship tr::d"r1c
uas iloted. It ria believed that Rash:"n WQ.S closed for cost of the period
from 11 July through the end of the month.
4. No new mine sweeps or Counter mensures were noted during the
phase, although there wns an increase in the nu.nbeT of electric loop
sweeps for i:lClgnetics. At least 6 such sweeps 17ere noted at different
port::; during the phase.
5. Resonnaissance indIc:l.ted the c.mount of enemy shipping operable
had dropped to less than 400,000 tons.
6. Ship losses during this phase were estiiJate to be 300_000 j!';TOsa
tons or more.
7. Only 0. s!ll:l.ll fraction of the once hea.vy enemy ship tra..rfic
still flowed to the Empire from the i.sio.tIc Continent. The shipment of
:1.11 ro:w materbls ha.d censed. The shipment of food was only :'t fro.ction
of tho.t needed, Jo.pan waS blockaded a.t the snd of the wa.r.
