  1. Part of the reason for the success of US submarines was the nature of Japan's internal divisions where all the commanders all wanted to be part of big strategic offensives and the different branches didn't necessarily get along or trust each other and often tried to shift mundane defensive tasks onto others. The result was most supply escorts were second rate ships and/or boats that happened to be going the same way.

  2. Remember: War is boring. Epic fights to the last man do not bring victory, but quiet positioning and brutal macroeconomic factors bring victory
