topyob is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Saipan
New to forum so excuse me for reposting question here. What was the code name for the island of Saipan. I know the operation was Forager but the island would have had a code name too. Betio (Tarawa atol) was Helen so I think it would have been another girls name. By the way are all you Pacific war buffs familiar with Taki's web site? TAKI
this guy knows everything about the Imperial Japanese Army.

The 15 islands of the Marianas chain "Gateway", or Japanese...Mariana Shoto.
Saipan was "Tattersalls", second largest island. Tinian was "Tearaway", and Guam was "Stevedore".
