Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I wehe atu te "Tennessee" me ngā kaipuke whawhai e toru o te akomanga "New Mexico" i te 15 o Poutu-te-rangi hei wāhanga o tētahi rōpū mahi e rua ngā kaipuke kaikawe me ngā kaipuke whakangaromanga tekau mā rima. Ko te whaainga o te roopu ko te turanga Hapanihi i Kavieng i te raki o New Ireland, tetahi waahanga o te Bismarck Archipelago. Ko te whakaeke he waahanga o te waahanga whakamutunga o te Operation Cartwheel, te mahere ki te wehe me te whakakore i te turanga nui o Hapanihi i Rabaul; i te wa i whakaekehia ai e te roopu "Tennessee" a Kavieng hei whakarereke, ka tae mai tetahi ope moana ki Emirau
He aha? Ka hangaia he papa rererangi hei whakaoti i te whakapae o Rabaul.
