US Navy Pacific Fleet 1942-43
The savage naval battles of Guadalcanal, New Guinea and the Solomons were transformative for the US Navy. Fully illustrated, this analyses the fleet's capabilities and combat in this period.The naval battles of 1942-43 around Guadalcanal and in the Solomons were some of the fiercest and most closely contested of the Pacific War. The campaigns included most of the surface actions of the war, as well as two carrier battles, three major amphibious landings, and a submarine offensive. Fighting by day and night against the superbly trained Japanese, they tested the Pacific Fleet's warfighting capabilities to the utmost.In this book, renowned US Navy historian Mark Stille presents a distilled guide to the detail of the Pacific Fleet of 1942-43, the period that saw its biggest transformation in terms of equipment, doctrine, and capability. America's huge naval construction effort began to feed through to the front line, while the fleet made advances in its previously deficient surface, air, and submarine warfare doctrine and tactics. The Pacific Fleet also learned how to support large forces far from established bases.Packed with superb original artwork, 3D diagrams, maps and archive photographs, this book explores the warships, weaponry, organization, intelligence, logistics and battles of the Pacific Fleet, as it fought to gain the upper hand in the South Pacific.

Battle of the Atlantic (3)
The dramatic conclusion to the Battle of the Atlantic series, highlighting how the Germans lost their edge in the water at the end of the war.In May 1943, Admiral Dönitz's U-boat force suffered a decisive loss in the North Atlantic. Forced to abandon the attacks, he switched the focus of U-boat operations to the central Atlantic, but was met and defeated by US Navy escort carrier groups. In September 1943, Dönitz attempted to resume North Atlantic operations. However, despite some initial success, the plan to resume large-scale U-boat operations in the open Atlantic came to an end. Dönitz pivoted to preserving the U-boat strength in order to repel an expected invasion by the Allies. When the invasion occurred in June 1944, the Germans made an all-out effort to disrupt the landings with submarines, but it was another disastrous failure. After this, the main focus was Britain's waters.Naval historian Mark Stille concludes his Battle of the Atlantic trilogy by digging into why the U-boat offensive failed against the Allied convoys. He covers the new technologies and tactics utilized by the Germans, shows why the escorts proved so effective, and how the U-boats kept up the fight until the very end. With stunning artwork, period images and detailed maps, this book delves into the German strategy during this hopeless phase of the war and shows how Allied intelligence and overwhelming numbers contributed to the overall victory.
