"On April 6, 1942, Vizag was bombed by the Japanese forces in the course of World War II. The Japanese fleet present in the India Ocean and the Bay of Bengal stalked the ships en-route to Chittagong. To evade the enemy, the vessels took shelter in Vizag's inner harbour. But the moment they tried to enter the port area, the American ships stationed there opened up their bofors anti-aircraft guns in staccato. The retaliatory fire, combined with the natural protection of the hills on the three sides, did not allow the planes to have a peep in at the inner harbour and had to abort their mission. In the course, the bomber planes strafed and dropped three bombs near the port area which exploded, causing 5 casualties. The fourth and last bomb was dropped on a ship Marine Maller, which fortunately did not explode. If it had exploded, then that would have set up a chain reaction as the ship was laden with 2000 tons of explosives and Vizag would have been remembered as Pearl Harbour 2."
