Numerous and varied individuals can be credited or blamed fror strategic

concepts employed in WW-2. The Fleets were faced with different needs

for projection of power. The German U-Boats were actively containing the

inflow of essential material required to build up forces for a new European

Front. The German battle fleet would not leave the safety of its protected

ports and Allied air power was incapable of destroying it in place. At its

best, CINCLANT was in a holding pattern. CINCPAC had problems unlike

the Atlantic. Japan was a Maratime Nation that had shown initiative, lots

of cunning, creativity and skill in the attack on Pearl Harbor. The US Navy's

failure to defend Wake, and to protect the Guadalcanal Landing Forces was indicative of a Navy that continued in Crisis Mode. The major victory

at Midway was actually an Intelligence Coupe. The B-25 raid by Doolitlle

was a Psychological Triumph and failed to accomplish anything. Division

of Power between Macarthur and Nimitz was a political blunder. At the

end it matters little, the Commander in Chief must bear the responsibility. Accept it. FDR was in charge. As the mantra of his succesor proclaims:

What was the name of the war plan for the Pacific War that had been developed and refined at the Naval War College?

War Plan Orange. The Orange plan was one of a number of war plans, collectively referred to as the Rainbow War Plans, developed to deal with a number of war scenarios in different parts of the world. These plans were written by the Joint Army-Navy Planning Board and not by the U.S. Naval War College. However, it is probable that many of the Navy writers incorporated ideas that they had learned while studying at the Naval War College. The annual Fleet Exercises were also important to developing the strategies incorporated into the Navy portions of War Plan Orange.
