During World War II, in the Pacific Theater of Operations, the Americans devised a clever strategy in their effort to push the Japanese back to their home-islands and otherwise achieve victory. This was the strategy of 'island-hopping' or 'leap-frogging,' by which some Japanese strong-points would be isolated and left alone while others would be directly assaulted and then used as bases for further advances. This strategy depended on control of the seas, which is precisely what America started to achieve in late 1943.
