rdf:langString Durante marzo de 1944, los Aliados de la Segunda Guerra Mundial reforzaron rápidamente las unidades militares ubicadas en el estado de Australia Occidental para defenderse contra la posibilidad de que los buques de guerra japoneses atacaran las ciudades de Fremantle y Perth. Esta redistribución comenzó el 8 de marzo después de que surgieran preocupaciones sobre el propósito de los movimientos de buques de guerra japoneses cerca de las Indias Orientales Neerlandesas, y terminó el 20 de marzo, luego de que se concluyera que un ataque era poco probable. En febrero de 1944, los Aliados se alarmaron de que el movimiento de la flota japonesa principal a Singapur pudiera ser un precursor de las incursiones en el Océano Índico, incluso contra Australia Occidental. La emergencia comenzó cuando los descifradores aliados de códigos detectaron el movimiento de una poderosa fuerza de buques de guerra japoneses en las Indias Orientales Neerlandesas a principios de marzo. Después de que un submarino de la Armada de los Estados Unidos hiciera contacto por radar con dos buques de guerra japoneses cerca de una de las entradas al Océano Índico el 6 de marzo, las autoridades militares aliadas y el Gobierno australiano consideraron que una flota podría haberse dirigido hacia el área de Perth. En realidad, estos buques de guerra estaban realizando una patrulla mientras esperaban que una pequeña fuerza de ataque regresara de atacar barcos en el Océano Índico central. En respuesta a la amenaza percibida, las unidades militares aliadas estacionadas en Australia Occidental fueron puestas en alerta y se enviaron refuerzos. Estos incluyeron seis escuadrones voladores de la Real Fuerza Aérea Australiana. Otras unidades aéreas aliadas se mantuvieron en Darwin en el Territorio del Norte para responder a incursiones en esa ciudad o reforzar Australia Occidental si se avistaba la flota japonesa. Se emitió una advertencia de ataque aéreo en Fremantle y Perth el 10 de marzo, pero resultó ser una falsa alarma. El patrullaje intensivo de los ejércitos aliados no detectó ningún buque de guerra japonés frente a Australia Occidental, y la mayoría de las unidades fueron retiradas el 12 de marzo. El día 20 del mes se concluyó que la amenaza de ataque había pasado y que los refuerzos aéreos que habían sido enviados a Australia Occidental regresaban a sus bases.
rdf:langString During March 1944, the Allies of World War II rapidly reinforced the military units located in the state of Western Australia to defend against the possibility that Japanese warships would attack the cities of Fremantle and Perth. This redeployment began on 8 March after concerns were raised about the purpose of Japanese warship movements near the Netherlands East Indies, and ended on 20 March, after it was concluded that an attack was unlikely. In February 1944, the Allies became alarmed that the movement of the main Japanese fleet to Singapore could be a precursor to raids in the Indian Ocean, including against Western Australia. The emergency began when Allied code breakers detected the movement of a powerful force of Japanese warships in the Netherlands East Indies in early March. After a United States Navy submarine made radar contact with two Japanese warships near one of the entrances to the Indian Ocean on 6 March, the Allied military authorities and Australian Government judged that a fleet may have been heading towards the Perth area. In reality, these warships were undertaking a patrol while awaiting a small raiding force to return from attacking ships in the central Indian Ocean. In response to the perceived threat, the Allied military units stationed in Western Australia were placed on alert, and reinforcements were dispatched. These included six Royal Australian Air Force flying squadrons. Other Allied air units were held at Darwin in the Northern Territory to respond to raids on that town or reinforce Western Australia if the Japanese fleet was sighted. An air raid warning was sounded in Fremantle and Perth on 10 March, but this proved to be a false alarm. Intensive patrols by the Allied militaries did not detect any Japanese warships off Western Australia, and most units were stood down on 12 March. On the 20th of the month it was concluded that the threat of attack had passed, and the air reinforcements that had been sent to Western Australia returned to their bases.
