Pacific theater notes from Admiral Kinkaid on Philippines defense
Admiral Thontay Kinkaid, commander of Southwest Pacific forces, warned that United States aircraft, submarines and surface ships have severely damaged Japanese defense efforts in the Philippines. He said carrier planes will help neutralize Japanese air power before any invasion and that the enemy ships and supply lines will suffer heavy losses. He emphasized removing Japanese air power as essential for amphibious operations and noted drones, catapult planes, and dive bombers as crucial. He cautioned about Japanese fleet intentions, saying testing optimism and outnumbered but superior ship types give the Allies confidence. He added that mining waters remains a challenge but controllable as operations proceed.
