British Pacific Fleet 1944–45

Richly illustrated, this book details the British Pacific Fleet (BPF), the powerful Royal Navy contribution that fought alongside the US Navy in the final year of the Pacific War. Comprising many of Britain's most modern ships, including a fast carrier force, the BPF rapidly adapted from Atlantic and Mediterranean operations to the long-range, high-tempo warfare of the Pacific. Facing kamikaze strikes, the BPF's armored carriers famously proved tougher than their US counterparts. Exploring the fleet's ships, technology, organization, command, and campaign, this book sheds light on the Royal Navy's vital role in the defeat of Japan.
