The Pacific as the name implies is an ocean. Consequently the Pacific Theater was a naval war fought by primarily by surface warships such as destroyers, cruisers and aircraft carriers.

US subs sank merchant vessels as well as men of war. Torpedo boats operated in the Southern Pacific regions. Any land battles occurred with US Naval Infantry (US Marines). Exceptions were General MacArthur's command in the Philipines and General Stilwell's campaigns in the CBI theater (China-Burma-India).
