Description
[Machine Translation] With a major victory at the Battle of the Marshall Islands, the ratio of Japanese and U.S. carrier power in the Pacific was now 7 to 2, giving Japan an overwhelming advantage. Taking advantage of this momentum, the Imperial Navy launched the invasion of Midway. However, Admiral Nimitz made a secret plan to deploy the British aircraft carriers "Indomitable" and "Victorious," which were in port at Pearl Harbor for repairs. The 1st Mobile Flotilla, which had been deceived into believing that the U.S. had only two aircraft carriers, lost the carriers Akagi, Amagi, and Katsuragi, and suffered severe damage to Hiryu and Soryu as well. In addition, the U.S. completed a large number of aircraft carriers, and by 1943, the carrier warfare capabilities of the U.S. and Japan had completely reversed. With no time to spare, Japan built the twin-engine bomber "Gunsei" under the order of Secretary Isoroku Yamamoto. The Japanese embarked on a desperate attack on Hawaii.
