Certainly, Tokyo would dress up Koga's demise in the most face-saving erms. Koga's death, which Tokyo said occurred last March, elevated 58- ear-old Adm. Soemu Toyoda to command of the combined Japanese fleet.

Emperor Hirohito has been prevailed upon to honor Koga posthumously with the honorary rank of fleet admiral and award him "the first class order of the golden kite and the cordon of the rising sun with Paulawnia flowers." Koga's regime was distinguished by its consistent avoidance of battle. During his time. Allied forces swept through the Gilbert and Marshall islands in the central Pacific, cleaned out virtually all of the Solomons and most of New Guinea and the Bismarck archipelago in the south Pacific all without serious Japanese fciaval opposition except for the Battle of Kula Gulf in the Solomons last July 5 and 6. where Japan lost at least nine cruisers and destroyers and the Allies lost one cruiser and one destroyer.
