History note[edit]

This page was derived largely from text-merging pages Operation Nimbus Moon and Operation Nimbus Stream. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:00, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which ship[edit]

The ship you give credit for is wrong. It was the USS Inchon LPH-12 not USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2). I know because I was there. 03:27, 11 June 2016‎ User:75.175.15.40

It might be helpful to include info on when the canal closed[edit]

Just a thought, but a couple sentences explaining the background of why the canal was closed due to the war and what year it was closed might be helpful. As is the entry lacks context. You wouldn't want to repeat the entire entry on the war but a few sentences of explanation seem to be in order — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:EC50:2A80:6463:1301:FBD1:F270 (talk) 23:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Effectiveness?[edit]

It would be interesting to know how effective the operation was. Did they miss anything? Have their been incidents in which explosives they missed caused damage or injury?Bill (talk) 23:20, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
