Описание: Discover the untold story of how America's forgotten "Ghost Fleet"—rusting World War I vessels abandoned in Virginia's James River—became the catalyst for the greatest naval expansion in history, ultimately sealing Japan's defeat in World War II. This comprehensive exploration reveals how the Imperial Japanese Navy's catastrophic intelligence failure to comprehend American industrial capacity led to their downfall, as the United States transformed from having a crippled Pacific Fleet after Pearl Harbor to launching over 100 ships per month by 1943, with revolutionary shipbuilder Henry Kaiser's methods producing vessels faster than enemy forces could sink them. Through previously overlooked Reserve Fleet reactivations, the innovative Liberty and Victory ship programs, and the mobilization of women and minorities in shipyards, America built over 5,000 vessels totaling 50+ million tons while Japan produced less than 800, proving that modern warfare would be won not through tactical brilliance or warrior spirit, but through industrial arithmetic and democratic mobilization that the Japanese military leadership dismissed as impossible until it was too late.
