@stevevalley7835 at the time the war started, reinforcement was in progress. The 4th Marines have been withdrawn from China. Both b-17s and p-40s were being sent. Even the rest of the PT boats were in Pearl Harbor waiting to go to the Philippines on the 7th of December.

@stevevalley7835 the islands held out for 4 months. Largely supported by submarine. But in general, expecting large shipments is not likely. But you could say the same thing to Outposts in Guam, Wake Island or Midway....

@stevevalley7835 by 1941, there was a entire reinforcing program. Defenses were being changed on the ground, Sea and air. It just was a matter of timing. America was looking for a war in 1942.

@frankgleaves1084 1943 for war with Germany? We were already in a pretty much in de facto War with the sinking of the USS Reuben James.

@frankgleaves1084 other than Hitler declaring war, on what basis? Raising an army to fight in 1943. Fine. But, on what basis does he have at that point?

@frankgleaves1084 Depends on Hitler, and the status of the United Kingdom. Are they still in the game in 1943?

I think you have to put speed in the context of the time. They are already faster than most seagoing vessels in most of History.

@bkjeong4302 they were faster than the standards.... even today, how many ocean-going vessels do you see capable of 33 knots?
