註釋"Departing Pearl Harbor on 8 August 1942, 219 men of "Carlson's Raiders," including the president's son, Maj. Jimmy Roosevelt, traveled 2,000 miles to the Gilbert Islands in the submarines Nautilus and Argonaut. Landing on Makin Atoll on 17 August, the Marine Raiders captured the atoll in two days of heavy fighting. Before leaving, they destroyed a radio station, burned Japanese equipment, and captured a trove of documents that proved to have significant intelligence value.".
