This page is in bad, bad, bad need of cleanup. It is barely coherent. Pascal.Tesson 03:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article and the Japanese Operations against Port Moresby (1942) article appear to cover the same subject. They might should be combined. Cla68 06:25, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Operation Mo (Mo Sakusen) was the Japanese name for the strategy in New Guinea. Grant65 | Talk 09:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the facts given about operation Mo are incorrect. Other facts about the invasion of Australia are also incorrect ie that the Japanese planed to invade Australia, The Japanese did not have the manpower, shipping, or supplies to even attempt such a undertaking. As a side issue to Operation Mo, there was plans for lightly armed raids of Australian Ports. The main aim of Operation Mo was to isolate Australia so it was unable to act as a threat to Japanese territory.

De-babelfishified[edit]

The original article had a strong "smell" of automatic translation from Spanish (but I'm guessing here). I've done what I've could but not being a scholar nor having good references, I cannot guarantee that my interpretation of the original language is correct. Please help out here. jkl 22:03, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geography[edit]

I do not understand this statement:

Japanese planners took into account an Allied response to the operation by detaching one task force to the west of parallel between of Rennel and Deboyne Islands and another to the east of same point.

The problem is that Rennell is almost due east of Deboyne Island, so I can't envision task forces to the east and west of a line joining them (if that is what is meant by "parallel"). I would correct it myself, but I do not know what is implied. PKKloeppel (talk) 15:20, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The term "parallel" is more likely a synonym for a line of latitude. - Boneyard90 (talk) 15:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
