WW2 #13: The Turkey Shoot

Substance B Cover of WW2 #13: The Turkey Shoot

After their defeat at the Battle of Midway the Japanese lost the elite of their carrier forces, and were facing a new threat the loss of the Philippines. When American Admiral Spruance laid siege to the island, of Guam, Rota, and Saipan, the Japanese high command had to commit it’s remaining carriers in a vain effort to stop him.

All this while the Japanese Fleet stagnated American submarines were strangling the Japanese Merchant Fleet, slowing to a trickle the flow of oil, steel and other goods needed to replace losses necessary to maintain effective fleet levels.
