This episode finishes the story of the greatest naval war in world history, stretching across tens of millions of square miles of ocean, involving thousands of warships, dozens of carrier battles, submarine ambushes, bloody beach landings and harrowing night actions on land and at sea. Listen to the story of the assassination of Japanese Admiral Yamamoto, how American submarine warfare succeeded where German submarine warfare failed, the Gilbert and Marshall Island Campaigns (including the bloody assault on Tarawa), the Mariana Campaign, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and finally bombings and geopolitics which eventually forced Japan to accept surrender.  IG/Twitter: @USNavyPodcast Email: [email protected]
