When a viewer proposes bombing Japanese railways, the raiding methods associated with U-class submarines and canoe-borne special operations offer another option. Personnel with policing experience in Palestine and Malaya were already relatively close to the theatre and could support such developments. Small maritime raids would extend the blockade inland by disrupting transport without requiring a strategic bomber force to solve every target. The suggestion remains speculative, but it shows how sea control can enable attacks on land logistics.

Submarine-borne raiders against Japanese railways
The blockade could be reinforced by small raiding parties landed from submarines to attack rail links rather than by a large bombing campaign.
