WW2 Naval Warfare

At the very end of the second world war (Aug 15, 1945) there were 6,768 warships in US Navy commission.

Battleships move just like any other ship, but faster. Their advantage was the huge guns they carried and the armour they were protected with.

The attack on Pearl Harbor is what brought America into ww II. America declared war on Japan the next day and three days later the rest of the axis powers declared war on America.

if you are asking for a monetary value, then not a lot. But i cannot think of any human who would want to make a financial profit out of it, they (as countless people have) would donate the pictures to one of the many Holocaust museums.

Synonymous with save Great Britain first. Winston Churchill was deathly afraid that the Amerian people would want to defeat Japan first, as Americans wanted revenge for the Pearl Harbor attack. Churchill lobbied hard with FDR to obtain his promise that Germany would be defeated first. Churchill got his wish.

Yes, a number of Vichy French ships were sunk in the Mediterranean Sea by the Allies.

Island hopping, the same tactics used by ancient Persia during it's invasion of Greece.

Please define what you mean by worst. The most deadly.

The Battle of the Coral Sea is the recognized as the first time aircraft carriers engaged each other in battle. During the period May 4-8, 1942 Japan used planes from two separate Fleet carriers (Shokaku and Zuikaku) and one light carrier (Shoho) to attack the USS Lexington and USS Yorktown. This battle was significant, since it was the first time in WW II that the US Fleet was able to hinder an advance by Japan in the Pacific.

The HMS Prince of Wales and the HMS Repulse were two British warships stationed off the east coast of Malaya in December 10, 1941. The two warships were sunk that day by land-based airplanes of the Imperial Japanese Navy. This engagement was called the Battle of Malaya. The battle was a decisive victory for the Japanese, and allowed the Japanese to take Singapore from the British.

The Battle of Malaya, as well as the Battle of Pearl Harbor that took place only 3 days prior, demonstrated how effective airplanes could be in sinking warships. These two battles, along with the Battle of Midway only a few months afterward, showed that the battleship was no longer the key weapon that would determine naval victory. Airplanes, stationed on land bases or on aircraft carriers, became the true weapons that would decide naval battles in the years to come.

They didn't.

All American carrier planes had radial engines but some Japanese and British aircraft had liquid-cooled engines, also planes built in Germany for their carrier which was never finished had liquid-cooled engines.

Radial engines were used in most cases because they were more rugged than other engines, a pilot would only need to watch his oil pressure gauge whereas using a different engine he would also have to check his coolant, and a single bullet in a liquid-cooled engine could cause it to seize up in a short time.

The main carriers used in the Mediterranean were HMS Eagle, Argus, Furious, Ark Royal, Illustrious, Formidable, Victorious and Indomitable.

The USS Wasp was also used to ferry aircraft to Malta twice.

This does not include the smaller escort carriers.

Italy was building carriers but none were finished.

On the day of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor the US Navy had 3 aircraft carriers in the Pacific.

The Enterprise had just delivered 12 Marine fighters to Wake Island and was on her way to Pearl.

The Saratoga was refitting at Bremerton, Washington State.

The Lexington was delivering dive bombers to Midway.

There have been several D-Days.

The first was Sept 12, 1918 with the invasion of Saint-Mihiel.

The most famous was June 6, 1944 with the invasion of Normandy.

Every amphibious landing in WWII (including the Pacific landings) had a D-Day.

Germany after World War l had many of their rights taken away which of course had made them angry. So Hitler (being stubborn) had 'convinced' the Germans to believe it was all the Jews fault. Of course they listened and believed this idiot and rallied, they did what he said and Hitler had started the Holocaust, killing thousands and thousands of Jews and people who denied his plan or back fired (talked back).

With that my friends is how WWl led to WWll

The B-17 was like most bombers and airplanes of WW2 in that is was made of Aluminum skin stretched over an Aluminum frame and stringers. Of course the engines had a lot steel and they also used other materials such as rubber.

The Battle of Ia Drang is the subject of We Were Soldiers, Once... And Young, by Harold Moore and Joseph Galloway and is considered to be among the first "battles" of Vietnam.

From the amazon.com description: "In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry, under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopter into a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediately surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later, only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped to pieces." Mel Gibson heroically acted out all this stuff in a movie a few years back.

The answer depends a little on when you consider that the Vietnam war began.

Some people say that the two American (civilian) pilots that were shot down & killed while resuppling French troops at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 can be considered the first American "casualties" of Vietnam, although clearly they were not official military personnel nor was American directly involved yet.

The US military points to Dec. 1961 as their initial military deployment to Vietnam, when we sent over 400 helicopters and troops to fly & maintain them. Of course, there had been American military "advisors" in South Vietnam since the late 1950's.

The American advisors killed at Ap Bac in Jan. 1963 are often considered the first military casualities.

However, if you are talking about the first American "battle" deaths (rather than "advisors" w/ South Vietnamese troops), that would probably be during Operation Starlite in August 1965 (a few hundred Americans died). That operation was a few months before the battle at la Drang.

The bomb hit the room that held all the ammunition.
