Talk:Invasion of Tulagi (May 1942)

[edit] Commanders

I'm not sure about the meaningfulness of including coastwatch co-ordinators (Feldt), civilian administrators (Marchant) and junior officers (Goode and Peagam) as "commanders" in the campaignbox. IMHO, while some of these were highly significant tactically, integrated Allied commands existed in the Pacific as early as January 1942. So I think it would be better to mention only Fletcher from the Allied side. Grant65 | Talk 14:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, although Marchant was technically the military commander of the British Solomon Islands (according to Lord's book) even though he appears to have abdicated that responsibility to other Allied commanders. Also, after the Tulagi occupation, the only Allied forces in the Solomons (apart from some Australian commandos on Bougainville) were the coastwatchers under Feldt. I'll take out all but Marchant's and Fletcher's names from the infobox. Cla68 23:34, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Typo?

"Yorktown SBD aircraft return to their carrier after striking Japanese shipping in Tulagi harbor". Should it be "Yorktown SBD aircraft returns" or "Yorktown SBD aircrafts return" (as there are several aircrafts depicted)? --Brand спойт 14:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The plural for aircraft is "aircraft" ([1]). Therefore, it is correct as currently written. Cla68 23:10, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
