Tuhia he tomokanga mo tenei pene - I whakaaro nga Hapanihi ki te whakaeke hei mahi aukati kia kore ai te United States Pacific Fleet e aukati i ana mahi hoia i whakaritea i te Tonga ki te Tonga o Ahia ki nga rohe o tawahi o te United Kingdom, Netherlands, me te United States. I roto i ngā haora e whitu, ka whakaekehia ngā whakaekenga Hapanihi ki ngā motu o U.S. e noho ana ki Piripi, ki Guam, ki Wake Island, ki te rangatiratanga o Ingarangi i Malaya
, Singapore, me Hong Kong. Hei taapiri, mai i te tirohanga a te Hapanihi, i kitea he patu whakamua "i mua i te mutunga o te hinu".
