| Content: | This is an Allied Translator and Interpreter Section (ATIS) research report issued on 3 June 1944 on Japanese warships and merchant vessels sunk, damaged or under construction since 1941. This report supercedes the information originally published in RR-67 and supplements 1-3. The revised report now presents the information in alphabetical order. The revised bulletin contains a list of vessels sunk, damaged or not previously listed including date, the name of ships, location, cause of damage and a reference to the appropriate source. A summary table shows the total number of ships sunk, damaged and not previously listed by class of vessel up to 1 April 1944. This information was increasingly important to Allied commanders to determine the strength of Japanese shipping in the Pacific theatre and their ability to move and supply their forces. These ATIS research reports formed the basis of the comprehensive 1947 reports by the United States Joint Army-Navy Assessment Committee, "Japanese naval and merchant shipping losses during World War II, February 1947" and "Japanese naval and merchant shipping losses during World War II by all causes, February 1947". |
