[edit] Web addition

I added, "It would also check additional Japanese advances" as 1 of the objectives & "In addition, they expended destroyers IJN desperately needed for commerce defense." as 1 of the effects of the Tokyo Express. Also, re Henderson Field: who was it named for? I know he was KIA at Midway, but I don't recall his name. Can somebody footnote it in the article? Trekphiler 10:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I added information about Lofton R. Henderson to the footnote. Cla68 20:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
