re: #366 Dark_Falcon

True, though by mid-1943 the USN’s vastly superior radar had started to shift the balance. Radar let us fire salvos without visual contact, extending the range for night engagments. By the time of the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay a few months later, The USN was able to use its own advantages to deadly effect and pummel an IJN attempt to stop an American landing on Bougainville.

Two years, two long years to catch up. Only Midway bought us he time to catch up, Fletcher’s decision to take the win the withdraw.

Can you imagine today’s media reporting the first couple of years of WWII?
