Read a great article about the Royal Navy's return to the Pacific; 1944-45
Its biggest weaknesses; the supply train and shorter range vessels;
Its pilots also need urgent training in mass Airfield attacks and fleet air defense.
Its strengths that British Bull Dog can do mentality and as American observers said;
those incredible UK carrier armored decks; how quickly after a Kamikaze hit they were back in action.
Got me to thinking about some nice what ifs;
What if the UK played it smarter and safer reinforced it Eastern Fleet around Sir Lanka and met the
IJN Indian Raid Fleet OR
At the Battle of Midway the IJN fares a lot better and Japan decides to support the French at the battle for Madagascar
reentering the Indian Ocean trying to drive the UK out completely.
