Description

The US Navy Pacific Fleet 1941: America's Mighty Last Battleship Fleet In October 1941, the US Pacific Fleet was the most powerful force in the US Navy, with a formidable battleship-led doctrine. However, the fleet was not as rigid as it seemed, and its leaders were actively developing and integrating naval aviation into their strategy. This book explores the Pacific Fleet's training and preparation in the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, revealing a more adaptable and forward-thinking force than previously thought. The Pacific Fleet's emphasis on building a massive fleet train allowed it to operate easily thousands of miles from home, providing a crucial foundation for its future success. With the introduction of carrier-led naval warfare, the Pacific Fleet was able to adapt and ultimately check and defeat the Imperial Japanese Navy. This book is a detailed and illustrated study of the Pacific Fleet as it was intended to fight, and how it played a pivotal role in the early years of World War II.
