Chronology of war in the Pacific for 7 December 1941 to 31 December 1943

Another new CARL Report:

"Chronology of war in the Pacific for 7 December 1941 to 31 December 1943."

"This document is a chronology of the Pacific War. There were comparatively few officers in the Pacific Fleet who had been on duty in the Pacific since the beginning of the war, and the majority had been there less than a year. Many had been previously in locations and duties which precluded them from following the day by day progress of war in the Pacific very closely, and since arrival there, they had little spare time for delving into past history. The following chronology up to the end of 1943 is compiled for their benefit, as a possible aid to them in familiarizing themselves with previous events and in acquiring a broader conception of the Pacific War in its entirety. Many events of supreme importance to the participants, such as air-strikes, submarine operations, minor surface engagements, and the loss of planes, ships, and men, have had to be omitted for the sake of brevity. Such omission is in no way an under-rating of the event or the services performed."
