Famous WW2 Quote
"We no longer demand anything, we want war."Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, Aug 1939

Battle of the Coral Sea:
Of the 18 Japanese (Kate) Torpedo Bombers
committed on May 8, 1942 only ten survived to
recover aboard Suikaku.
Obsolescent by 1942 the Kate played the main
role in sinking US Aircraft Carriers.
