I did like it! I didn’t know about the IJN’s ability to replenish under way or about the USN’s ignorance of it; this makes the decision to position a fleet on Hawaii seem sensible. I am often struck by the odd fact that throughout the build up to the war in the Pacific and throughout the war, the Japanese Army was literally standing on the Da Qing oilfield in Manchuria. It was discovered by the People’s Republic in 1950 and made China self sufficient in oil up to 1996.

Interesting Sal, thanks.
