Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, submarines in the Pacific Ocean were divided between the US Asiatic Fleet and
the US Pacific Fleet. This distinction was eliminated when the United States entered World War II. While the rest of the US
fleet recovered from the devastation of Pearl Harbor, the Submarine Force became indispensable. Using radical new technology,
they managed to sink more than 55% of all Japanese shipping and naval forces, as well as successfully cutting off supply routes
and neutralising the naval threat. This book explores how the Submarine Force severely impeded the seemingly unstoppable Japanese.
Jim Christley retired from the US Navy in 1982 as a senior chief petty officer, having served on seven submarines ranging
from diesel to nuclear fast attacks to ballistic missile boats. A student of US submarine technical history, he has written
numerous articles and a book on the subject, in addition to providing technical illustrations to several notable books on
submarine design and history. He is based in Connecticut, USA.
