Ever know a naval aviator that didn't know what kind of ship he was attacking in clear weather?
We predict this extension of the cover-up will fool very few except those who don't want to see the truth.
EXACTLY the above happened literally dozens and dozens of times in World War II.
Total misidentifications were routine by reconnaissance aircraft; destroyers as battleships, cargo vessels as aircraft carriers.
And on multiple occasions there aircraft attacked their own countries' ships.
