The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- By late 1944, the Japanese fleet had become much weaker than that of the Allied forces, it contained fewer capital ships than the Allies had aircraft carriers in the Pacific.
- After the catastrophic Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944, senior Japanese military leaders understood that their remaining naval forces were incapable of achieving a strategic victory against the Allies.
- However, the Japanese general staff believed that continuing to contest Allied offensives at sea was necessary to deter an invasion of mainland Japan and to give the Japanese navy an opportunity to use its remaining strength.
