    Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Part 2 of memoirs of a Japanese submarine commander , who describes submarine warfare from the Japanese point of view. Few Japanese submarine commanders survived the war, so how he lived to tell the tale is just one of the many remarkable stories. Link of the playlist

    Absolutely disagree with the author at 16:45. US BBs 100% were the spines of US Fleet actions throughout the Pacific campaign as secondary roles to carriers, which served as the spearhead. If they weren't bombarding positions, they provided devastating and accurate AA support that shielded carriers. US carrier successes wouldn't be what they are today without battleships making sure nothing got through.

    "No battleship would accomplish anything of significance during the Pacific naval war." Then please explain what happened to IJN Kirishima. Pretty sure it was North Carolina class Battleship USS Washington that sent her to the bottom!

      "During the night action of November 14-15, 1942, along with the battleship USS South Dakota (BB-57) and four destroyers, Washington headed to Savo Island to be in a position to engage an approaching Japanese force that included the battleship Kirishima. When BB-57 was damaged and unable to continue the fight, it was left to Washington, with Capt. Glenn B. Davis commanding.
      Washington single-handedly engaged the Japanese force, which included not only Kirishima but also two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and nine destroyers. Using her radar-directed fire, the American battlewagon pummeled the Japanese battleship with upwards of twenty hits from her 16-inch guns and more than forty hits by the 5-inch guns. Just after midnight, Kirishima was sunk along with a Japanese destroyer.
      The rest of the Japanese force withdrew. It was the first, and only, one-on-one battleship kill of the Second World War.

      Yes. Bombing of Ellwood near Santa Barbara.
      Even the Oregon bombing came from an airplane manned submarine.

    17:05 "..... no battleship would accomplish anything of significance during the Pacific naval war." Umm .... spoken like a true IJN diehard, basically discounting anything the IJA accomplished or failed to, and COMPLETELY discounting any fault the IJN had in Imperial Japanese Army losses.... Every isolated IJA island garrison that was starved of ammo, artillery, and any sort of supply other than starvation levels of food delivered by ad hoc barges or destroyers in the middle of the night, and mercilessly bombarded by Naval gunfire (often delivered by American Battleships, some of whom the IJN had actually sunk at Pearl harbor, and some that the IJN had claimed to have sunk but only damaged!) .... for days on end before any Allied amphibious assault, after which the USN continued the fire support to such an extent that the IJA garrisons could only move underground or at night .... and the IJN was prevented from doing the same to American ground forces after early November 1942 .... BY THE BATTLESHIPS USS WASHINGTON AND SOUTH DAKOTA (though SoDak was mostly just a punching bag in that engagement....) ... also, a force of 6 of the USN's old Battleships, including 5 revenants from Pearl Harbour attack, slaughtered the IJN's Southern Force at Surigao Strait ...... by July of 1945, Allied surface fleets, including BATTLESHIPS, were bombarding the Japanese home islands almost daily, with impunity, because the IJN had ceased to be a factor .... a more accurate statement would have been, "no Japanese battleship would accomplish anything of significance during the Pacific War." .... though IJN Battleships Haruna and Kongo and Haruna did manage to destroy about 1/2 of the Cactus Airforce at Henderson Field in the wee hours of 14Oct'42 ... close, as in almost decisive, but they failed to mass more forces and press home the attack, as was their habit, until it was far too late in the war... for all their pre-war talk of "Decisive Battle Doctrine" .... the IJN just never were very "decisive" in practice.

      At one point during the early part of the Pacific War, the war became The Japanese Empire vs USS Enterprise according to some notable authors writing about the war. Loss of the Enterprise might have lengthened the war by as much as six months. The Japanese were not stupid nor were they without intelligence sources of their own though some of their commanders made very serious errors or miscalculations.
