_________________
The Pacific War was the largest naval
conflict in history.
Across the huge expanses of the
Pacific, the two most
powerful navies in the world found
themselves locked
in a death struggle. The war was
fought in every possible
climate, from Arctic conditions in
the Aleutians, to the
appalling heat and swelter of the
South Pacific. Every
conceivable type of naval activity
was represented: carrier
aviation battles, surface
engagements, bitterly fought night-
fights, the largest amphibious
landings of the entire war,
and the stealthy, brutal battles
waged by and against sub-
marines.
Air Battle in the South
Pacific
Between 1942 and 1945, there were four main areas of
conflict in the Pacific War: China, the Central Pacific,
South East
Asia and the South West Pacific.
