The U.S. submarine campaign against Japanese shipping is one of the most poorly known major factors in the Pacific War. It is well-documented in the two-volume Silent Victory by Clay Blair, Jr.

By the end of the war, the Japanese had darn near nothing left in the way of merchant shipping.

Again, as has been pointed out earlier in the thread, amateurs study tactics, professionals logistics. Marshall and Nimitz fought a masterful campaign against Japanese logistics with our submarines.

As long as Alec Baldwin is not in this movie....
Woody Harrelson as Admiral Chester Nimitz? ugh!

Agreed. He was also miscast as Archie Bunker
in the live TV presentation last month.

I think Billy Bob Thornton looks closer to Nimitz than Woody does.

But you were mostly correct.

I had "old school" teachers, 'mostly correct" would have been marked wrong with a red pencil. But thank you, you are being generous.

"Which is why Dr. Seuss is now persona non grata to the Left, although he was a hard-core lefty.”

Yep. He was for integration, abortion, antiNuke, anti Vietnam War, etc. But that's not enough. The "Bolsheviks" are killing off the "Mensheviks."
Too bad it wouldn't help them against the "White Army"
