The attacks on Kure and the Inland Sea were a series of large-scale air raids by United States and British naval aircraft in late July 1945 that sank most of the surviving large warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). The United States Third Fleet's attacks on Kure Naval Arsenal and nearby ports on 24, 25, and 28 July sank an aircraft carrier, three battleships, five cruisers, and several smaller warships.
