Darwin

I have deleted the following: "including the Japanese attack on Port Darwin, Australia on February 26 1942." The only Japanese attacks on Australia, including Darwin in that period, were air raids. Also, it ceased to be called Port Darwin long before 1942 and hasn't been since. Grant | Talk 17:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Was Maya part of the carrier task force that attacked Darwin? Cla68 (talk) 01:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cla, happy new year. The source, whatever it was, is unreliable, as the first and only major raids on Darwin took place on February 19. I don't believe there were any raids on February 26. See: Air raids on Australia, 1942–43. Grant | Talk 03:04, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Cla68 (talk) 03:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grave of the Fireflies

In the movie Grave of the Fireflies by Studio Ghibli, an animated war drama that takes place in World War 2 Japan, the hero Seita mentions that his father is a naval member onboard this ship. The film is fairly well known, so should this be at all mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.97 .8.157 (talk) 18:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So what? If we werer to mention every single time the USS Iowa appeared in a movie, the list would be big and unecessary.

i'm a yank, and i couldn't name a single movie the USS iowa appeared in!

but if george bailey said his brother was aboard it in it's a wonderful life, or if victor laszlo was taking it back to the states from casablanca, you can bet that the respective articles would mention it. 209.172.23.134 (talk) 04:32, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
