Course Description

The Pacific War was fought in two distinct phases. From the start of the war through 1942, the prewar U.S. Navy and the prewar Imperial Japanese Navy fought on nearly equal terms. Beginning in 1943, the products of America’s massive shipbuilding program began to join the Pacific Fleet. By the time of the great naval battles around the Philippines in 1944, the U.S. Navy was vastly larger than the Japanese Navy. This course will focus on the prewar American Navy, how it was built, staffed, organized and trained, and how it succeeded in changing the course of the war in the pivotal 1942 battles at Midway and Guadalcanal.
