Description
USN Submarine Vs IJN Aircraft Carrier The Pacific 1942-44 This book tells the story of a pivotal moment in World War II, when US Navy submarines clashed with the Imperial Japanese Navy's aircraft carriers in the Pacific. The outcome of these battles was far from certain, and it was only through a combination of technological advancements and tactical changes that the US submarine force was able to gain the upper hand. From the early struggles in 1942 and 1943, to the decisive victories of 1944, Mark Lardas examines the key battles and the factors that contributed to their outcome. Featuring specially commissioned artwork and archive illustrations, this book provides a detailed and absorbing study of the five revealing clashes between US submarines and Japanese aircraft carriers. Through its analysis of these battles, this book sheds light on the evolution of submarine warfare and the strategies employed by both sides.
