Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War Eric Lacroix, Linton Wells II

The American Victory at Midway and the Japanese triumph at Pearl Harbor were alike in that, both ended with one clear victor, both attacks were made on islands, and both attacks ended in the same way. Both in the Battle of The Allies destroyed three battleships, four aircraft carriers, 13 cruisers and almost 500 planes of the Japanese. While many assume Midway to be the turning point in the Pacific War, Neptune's Inferno shows the Imperial Japanese Navy was, in size and firepower, still an equal match for the United States fleet even after that fabled victory. In what ways were the American victory at Midway and the Japanese triumph at Pearl Harbor alike? At Pearl Harbor, the Japanese bombed many American weapons and the Americans were defenseless. Kreigsmarine: 1 battle-cruiser. Denying intelligence to Hawaii (HI); on Nov 27, misleading the commanders into thinking negotiations with Japan were continuing to prevent them from realizing the war was on; having false information sent to HI about the location of the Japanese off the American supply of petroleum will lead promptly to the invasion of Netherland East Indiesit seems certain she would also include military action against the Philippine Islands, which would immediately involve us in a Pacific war. Imperial Japanese Navy : 2 battle-cruisers, 16 heavy cruisers, 10 light cruisers, 1 aircraft carrier, 44 destroyers, 1 sea plan tender & 3 submarines. The same battle at Midway was very similar, but this time the Japan had disastrous results and lost 3 battleships, 4 aircraft carriers, 13 cruisers and nearly 500 -lanes.
