Detailed explanation-1: -On June 1, 1939, the Japanese introduced what American cryptanalysts called JN–25. JN means simply Japanese Navy, and JN–25, consisting eventually of about 33, 000 words, phrases, and letters, was the primary code the Japanese used to send military, as opposed to diplomatic, messages.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elvin Urquhart was a code breaker who helped the United States Navy break the Japanese Navy General Operational Code, or JN25, during World War II. Captain Joseph Rochefort handpicked Urquhart to be part of Station Hypo, a code breaking unit of the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence based in Pearl Harbor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thousands of talented women were secretly recruited and trained during the war to become code breakers for the US Army and Navy. Working tirelessly at two codebreaking centers in the DC area, these women cracked code that provided critical intelligence information in the European and Pacific Theaters.
Detailed explanation-4: -Neither Japan nor the U.S. had broken the other’s military codes prior to Pearl Harbor, Minohara says. Japanese historians often claim that the U.S. misinterpreted some of the country’s telegrams–for instance, that Togo’s “Five Points Plan” was translated as a “final offer” when Togo never said that.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lebonick began her presentation by defining what the term “code girls” meant: women during World War II who worked in cryptography (the practice of making a code) or as cryptanalysts (breaking codes). They were commonly recruited from colleges and universities to work in the intelligence branches of Federal agencies.
