They could just blocked the island from any supply for 30 days...with naval ships all around. Enough time for japanese to starve and surrender

@crocfme The general bombing of Iwo was done with 500 and 1000 lb GP bombs, 1000lb AP bombs and some 4000lb AP. The results are tough to quantify, but as history showed the Japanese still had a lot of fight left. The Grand Slam was used against viaducts somewhere ( i forget the place) a caused mini earthquakes that destroyed the viaducts. I would bet they would have really hurt the Japanese defenders.

When I get old I want to have the lucidity and memory of John Lane: what a guy!!!!

Anyone know what type of bombs the '17s and '24s were using? I've often wonderred if it would have made a lot of difference if the British "Tallboy" and "Grand Slam" earthquake bombs had have been deployed in the pre-invasion bombardment.

@Historystartsnow it's obviously main artillery from a Battleship
