Re: Battle of Bismarck Sea
The $3 Grenada stamp has not much to do with the Battle of the Bismarck Sea. The Allied airplane’s used in this battle came from land-based airfields
The first aircraft carrier is the USS LANGLEY (CVL-27) see: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11528&p=12325&hilit=langley#p12325
The second aircraft carrier is the USS TICONDEROGA (CV-14) see: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11527&p=12324&hilit ... oga#p12324
The Marshall Island stamp 1992 50c shows the Japanese destroyers ARASHIO and SHIRAYUKI
