The Battle of the Komandorski Islands was unique among World War II naval battles. It was the last daytime naval surface battle of World War II where aircraft played no role, and saw a squadron of US Navy cruisers and destroyers engage their Japanese counterparts over a convoy to reinforce Attu and Kiska. Exploring the warships, the battle, and why it was won, naval expert Mark Lardas explains that due to an intelligence failure, the Japanese escort was twice the size expected, with the US outnumbered 2:1 in heavy and light cruisers. Although both sides had the same number of destroyers (four each) the Japanese destroyers were newer and more powerful than their US counterparts. A 12-hour brawl of a surface action took place. Despite being badly outnumbered and badly outgunned - and even though the largest US ship was dead in the water at one point - the US Navy emerged victorious. Illustrated with archive photos, profiles of all the major warships involved, and action scenes illustrating key moments in the battle, this book explains how the US victory was achieved, and particularly highlights the importance of superior damage control. eBook Details: Mark Lardas 48 Pages 0 - 1 Hours to read 17k Total words Release Date: October 24, 2024 ISBN-13: 9781472861375 ISBN-10: 147286137X Language: English Format: epub ✅File Size: 12,64 MB Recommend Download Link Hight Speed | Please Say Thanks Keep Topic Live Rapidgator lh93k.7z.html TakeFile lh93k.7z.html Fileaxa lh93k.7z Fikper lh93k.7z.html Links are Interchangeable - Single Extraction
