    The major bombardments began on 14 and 15 July 1945, when US Navy warships attacked the

    cities of Kamaishi and Muroran. The next attack was made by a joint American and British force
    against the city of Hitachi during the night of 17/18 July. Groups
    of cruisers and destroyers subsequently shelled the Nojima Saki and Shionomisaki areas on 18
    July and the night of 24/25 July, respectively. On 29 July, American and British warships
    attacked Hamamatsu, and on the night of 30/31 several American destroyers shelled Shimizu.
    The final bombardment took place on 9 August, when Kamaishi was attacked again by
    American, British and New Zealand warships. Two US Navy submarines conducted small-scale
    attacks during June and July 1945; one of the submarines also landed a small raiding party.
