This publication is one a series of Battle summaries written and compiled by the Royal Navy after the Second World War. Naval operations in the Pacific Ocean were mainly the concern of the US Navy but the invasion of Okinawa was a joint operation between the US and Royal Navies. The book covers every possible detail needed to fully understand the strategic situation and the operation itself. It also includes material on air supremacy in the region, the Battle of the East China Sea, operations of American carriers, operations of the British Pacific Fleet and the Fleet Train of the British Fleet. Highly recommended as a part of the whole excellent series.
