Description
An illustrated account of the US Navy Pacific Fleet during the crucial six months between Pearl Harbor and the revenge of Midway. Despite damage sustained at Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Fleet retained the capacity to respond: American naval expert Mark Stille explains how the fleet responded to disaster and how its actions led to the decisive victory at Midway. Unable to launch the large-scale offensive in the central Pacific envisioned by pre-war plans, the Pacific Fleet conducted several carrier-led raids while submarines continued their offensive despite technical problems. The fleet secured maritime communications between the United States and Australia and blocked Japanese advances in the southern Pacific, leading to the first carrier-versus-carrier battle in the Coral Sea. Illustrated with colour plates, maps and 3D diagrams, the book examines the operations and capabilities of the Pacific Fleet during this period, demonstrating how in just six months after Pearl Harbor the fleet reversed the situation against the Imperial Japanese Navy.
