A glimpse at a often overlooked part of WWII,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ugly Ducklings: Japan's Liberty Ship Equivalents of World War II (Hardcover)
Japan started the war with a barely adequate merchant fleet. The war only highlighted this fact, plus the Silent Service's attacks strangled Japan's industry and helped accelerate the conclusion of the Pacific War. This book is one of the few easily found resources that describes the Japanese shipping fleet. The ships that Japan could produce, as described in this book, were both undersized and underpowered for operations in a wartime environment. I recommend the book for it's photos and brief descriptions but feel that, if I could read Japanese, that there would be better sources available.
