Description

The British Pacific Fleet 1944-45: A New Account of the Royal Navy's Crucial Role in Japan's Downfall. This illustrated account explores the pivotal role played by the British Pacific Fleet during the final year of World War II. With its powerful ships and modern technology, the BPF was instrumental in the direct defeat of Japan, alongside the US Navy. The fleet's fast carrier force proved particularly effective, adopting a ruthlessly efficient doctrine that had been pioneered by the US. The book delves into the challenges faced by the BPF as it adapted to the long-range, high-tempo warfare of the Pacific, and how its ships optimized for short-range operations in the Atlantic and Mediterranean were transformed for the task. With dramatic new artwork, 3D diagrams, maps, and archive photos, this book provides a fascinating exploration of the Royal Navy's part in the victory over Japan.
