"...Question as to what might have been the results if the IJN had attacked the canal the same time as Pearl Harbor..."

Given the logistical difficulties the IJN had even getting Kido Butai in position to attack Pearl Harbor, not to mentioned undetected, makes me think that a simultaneous aerial attack on targets in the Panama Canal Zone would not be possible.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (William Kargel) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/sreply/68779 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:30:05 GMT http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/reply/66541/t/IJN-and-the-Panama-canal.html#reply-66541 feeds@yuku.com (emc) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/sreply/66541 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:11:43 GMT http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/reply/66497/t/IJN-and-the-Panama-canal.html#reply-66497

All good points made here, especially by bennett0. It's not brought up often, but it's a matter of historical record that the US rail network made a substantial contribution to the US war effort.

I hadn't heard of this plan before and it strikes me a quite interesting. The attack on the U.S would seem to be virtually useless (no real strategic value, even if the very large fleet of subs proposed originally was built in time to be useful).
