Thought that some who are interested in interwar naval gaming might be interested in this. From the International Journal of Naval History.October 2002,Volume 1 Number 2. Building a Doctrine:
U. S. Naval Tactics and Battle Plans in the Interwar Period "The importance of this doctrinal development has largely been ignored, primarily because battleships formed its centerpiece. The destruction of the Navy's battle line at Pearl Harbor and the ensuing dominance of the aircraft carrier in the decisive battles of the Pacific War have led investigators to focus on aircraft carriers when examining the prewar development of the Navy's doctrine. This article seeks to address that oversight."

This is really an excellent article, and a wealth of information.
I like that it is not only a study of tactics, but takes into account ship design as well. To that end it is a great companion piece to Friedman´s USN battleship study. And for anyone who games this era, like me for example , this is a must read. I would be very curious to see something similar for the IJN. |

I thought so too Jack. I thought it would be interesting and helpful to some here. I come across some things others have missed I guess huh? LOL. Robert |

Howdy, IIRC, Evans & Peattie's "Kaigun" covers this for the IJN. Ponder on, JAS |
