Rather than attacking the city, the sub base should have been attacked. Do we know what the actual target was? We know where the bombs hit, but where were they 'aimed'.
I put quotes on aimed because our bombing accuracy at that point in time was extremely low.

Do we know what the actual target was? We know where the bombs hit, but where were they 'aimed'.In the case of Hiroshima they were aimed at a steel mill. I don't recall for Nagasaki. In both cases, however, the city itself, rather than a primarily military installation, was the target.
