SUMAC is/was the code name for Brisbane, Australia.
The USS Hammondsport arrived San Francisco 7 January 1942, and began loading cargo and aircraft to be carried to beleaguered allied forces in the western Pacific. Departing 15 January she, steamed into Brisbane harbor with her precious cargo 5 February 1942. After unloading her cargo of 120 P-40 aircraft the ship sailed for San Francisco, arriving 17 March.

Who came up with these codes? I've always wanted to know who decided that CAPSTAN was a suitable code word for the Spitfire. He should have been shot
