Yes, if only the salvage & rebuild of all of these vessels had only been $6 Million! However, that does lead to the QUESTION-HOW MUCH DID THIS ENTIRE SALVAGE OPERATION COST? DID ANYONE KEEP TRACK OF IT & THEN BILL THE JAPANESE AFTER THE WAR? I personally think all the families that had loved ones killed during the attack should have been able to sue Japan for a wrongful death claim, considering that they had not at that time given the US a Formal Declaration of War. And that should have been part of their formal surrender. And they should have also been billed for all the $ the US put into the war effort to fight the Japanese. And although I do think the devastation caused by the atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima & Nagasaki was very horrific. I feel that, because of the Emperors determination in NOT Surrendering made dropping the bombs, very necessary. And if the Japanese want to blame anyone for that event, they can certainly blame Emperor Herohito. After it became painfully obvious that there was no way Japan could win the war, he should have asked for negotiations for a surrender INSTEAD OF SACRIFICING THE LIVES OF THE JAPANESE YOUTH, Just so that he could postpon e the inevitable surrender.
