  1. Before you get to that, there is sourcing. As I recall, most of the large deposits are in Russia? Just getting enough to build an airplane out of titanium like the SR-71 required making special deals. There is no way in heck you're going to get enough to build an entire armor belt of a ship.

  4. What is this obsession people have with trying to occupy Hawaii? It makes no sense tactically or logistically. Shipping a six carrier task force halfway across the Pacific is hard enough. You do not have the ability to ship an invasion Force. Let alone sustain one.

  5.  @marcusfranconium3392  the island of Oahu has a civilian population of thousands. With an Army and Marine force of a division Plus. The Japanese are not transporting enough men to even hold one Island, let alone the rest of the chain. Nor do you have the logistics to maintain a supply line to Hawaii. it makes zero sense. They could barely take Wake Island.

  8. The Officer training Question. The USN did have schools for training on command of various small ships and craft. Miami had a school for sub chasers and PC. New London, CT for Subs. Melville, RI for PT boats.

  19. How about location on that Earth's crust? I don't recall any large deposits of titanium in the United States?

  23.  @marcusfranconium3392  you can't do all that and do Hawaii at the same time.

  24.  @brianwillson3565  basically by mid War , aircraft are growing in weight and size. That type of storage is no longer practical. Also you have other ships and land bases for replacements.

  25.  @janwitts2688  Not enough for that use.And most is not in the USA.

  26.  @janwitts2688  we didn't even have enough titanium to build airplanes. We had to cut a deal with the Russians to get enough to build the SR-71. You're not getting enough to build ships.

  27.  @johnsykesiii1629  cost benefit analysis doesn't quite work out in 2022. Raising timber for ships that don't go anywhere anymore.
