| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- The War in China and the Battle of the Mariana: A amazed that Mizuki doesn't mention that the Battle of Layte Gulf was where the United States committed its biggest blunder in the War in the Pacific. Admiral Halsey was so fixated on destroying the remaining Japanese carriers he sent almost all his ships after them. The Japanese Battleships had an open path towards the beachhead and the American ground forces. Taffy 3 was only force that stood between them and they only had 6 escort carriers, 3 destroyers, and 6 destroyer escorts. The Americans were soundly defeated, but at that moment Admiral Kurita turned the battleships around. The United States was extremely lucky in that battle, almost more so than Midway. I'm surprised that pivotal moment isn't in this manga. |
| I think any American defeats or near-defeats mattered to the eventual outcome of the war—which was decided when they made China and all the western powers in Asia their simultaneous enemies—so only Americans and military historians need care about them. |
