I-52: The Japanese Submarine Hunted by an Invisible Technology!

Описание: Understand how Japanese submarine crews intercepted US sonar buoys in World War II and realized the Pacific Ocean was no longer their domain. This little-known account exposes the impressive technological advantage that doomed Japan's underwater fleet during the world conflict. From the landmark sinking of the I-52 by acoustic torpedoes and sonobuoys in June 1944, to the audacious Operation Barney, in which nine American vessels invaded the Japanese "refuge," the Sea of ​​Japan, using innovative FM sonar in 1945, observe the methodical annihilation of Japanese naval security. See how US anti-submarine warfare technology – encompassing radar, sonobuoys, self-guided acoustic torpedoes, and mine-detecting sonar – established an invisible monitoring network in the Pacific from which Japanese combatants were unable to escape. Analyze the whereabouts of the colossal I-400 aircraft carrier submarines, the largest submersible vessels of World War II, and learn why US submarines destroyed 1,314 Japanese vessels (5.3 million tons), while Japanese forces managed to sink only 184 Allied ships. This historical record investigates original documents, survivor accounts, and classified files to demonstrate how technological confrontation altered the Pacific Theater of Operations and why the waters belonged to those who dominated technology. Ideal for scholars of the past, those interested in military history, admirers of naval conflicts, and anyone focused on narratives of World War II in the Pacific, submarine combat tactics, and the importance of technology in determining triumph.
