Allied naval bombardments of Japan during World War II
During the last weeks of World War II, warships of the United States Navy, British Royal Navy, and the Royal New Zealand Navy bombarded several cities and industrial facilities in Japan. Most of these bombardments involved battleships and caused heavy damage to several of the factories targeted, as well as nearby civilian areas. The Japanese military did not attempt to attack the Allied fleet during this period, and none of the warships involved in the bombardments suffered any damage. The bombardments began on 14 and 15 July 1945 when United States warships attacked the cities of Kamaishi and Muroran. The next attack was made by a joint British and United States force against the city of Hitachi during the night of 17/18 July. A group of cruisers and destroyers subsequently shelled the Nojima Saki and Shionomisaki areas on 18 July and the night of 24/25 July, respectively. On 29 July, American and British warships attacked Hamamatsu, and on the night of 30/31 several American destroyers shelled Shimizu. The final bombardment took place on 9 August when Kamaishi was attacked again by American, British and New Zealand warships.The Allied naval bombardments disrupted industrial production in the cities targeted, and convinced many Japanese civilians that the war was lost. As many as 1,739 Japanese were killed in the attacks, and up to another 1,497 were wounded. The only Allied casualties were 34 prisoners of war who were killed in the bombardments of Kamaishi.
