Using the classic skin, the image appears to the left of the battlebox rather than (as I presume is the intention) just below. I believe this is a known bug, but can be solved with a floatright table. I see the same problem occurs in Battle of Tinian. I'll edit here to show how it can be fixed, but please let me know if you object, or there is an approved format or something. -- ALoan(Talk) 11:15, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Talking about the recapture of guam in 1944 is a little imcomplete without a mention or an article of the japanese ocupation of guam in late 1941.Someone create an article (Guam 1941), i will search for information and add whatever it needs.
Best wishes.

A map (full view) showing the progression of the Second Battle of Guam (July 21 – August 10, 1944), in which the United States recaptured the Japanese-held island of Guam. The Japanese, who had taken the island almost three years earlier, saw more than 18,000 casualties during the campaign, most of whom were killed; the American forces took nearly 8,000 casualties, with over 1,700 killed. The first date of the battle is now celebrated as Liberation Day in Guam.Map: Grandiose
Hi, everyone. The OOB had gotten really unwieldy so I moved it to its own page and substituted a thumbnail Opposing Forces section. Hungrydog55 (talk) 00:00, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The text reads "A total of 274 ships, which fired 44,978 shots from 2-inch and 5-inch guns..." One would think that 2-inch (51 mm) guns would be rather ineffective for shore bombardment, and I'm not aware of the US Navy actually having weapons of that caliber. Considering that there were both battleships and cruisers taking part, guns of 12" and 8" and/or 6" caliber would presumably have been used in addition to the destroyers' 5" weapons.--Death Bredon (talk) 22:21, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
