S1, EP2 "The Doomed Fleet"In the Fall of 1941, the naval and air base at Pearl Harbor represented the greatest concentration of American military power in the new world.
S1, EP3 "The Joy of Fighting for the Emperor"Though they had not delivered the finishing stroke at Pearl Harbor, the Japanese had put the Americans and the British on their heels in the Pacific; the Japanese Navy had been at war constantly since 1937, and it was in prime condition for war.
S1, EP4 "The Eagle Strikes Back"Japanese admirals stuck rigidly to the view that submarines were first and foremost an adjunct to the battle fleet; this abdication by the Japanese was a prime example of a lack of flexibility in Japanese strategic and tactical planning.
S1, EP5 "High Noon"Even though Japanese war plans were habitually best-case and not worst-case, the military junta on the home island were so surprised by the scale and speed of its successes in the first four months of the war in the Pacific.
S1, EP6 "Revenge"After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were victorious in their endeavor to control as much of the western Pacific area and Southeast Asia as possible; they met little effective resistance as they seized islands from Wake to the Philippines.
S1, EP7 "Watchtower"The Americans were now ready to go on the offensive; early in the summer of 1942, the interception of a radio transmission that the Japanese were constructing an airfield in the Solomon Islands; that triggered a demand for offensive action.
S1, EP8 "Silent Service"The Japanese war machine, checked and forced to change its plans, was now forced to go in reverse by its failure on Guadalcanal; from now on it was the United States and its allies who were on the strategic offensive.
S1, EP9 "Sho Ichigo Sakusen"In December 1941, within hours of the destruction at Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces began their assault on the Philippines; by April 1942, the Bataan Peninsula fell; by May, the remaining U.S. and Filipino forces surrendered.
S1, EP10 "Lost Cause"By the fall of 1944, the harsh reality of the war in the Pacific became apparent to the Japanese high command; finally, what remained of the Navy was practically destroyed in the Battle of Leyte Gulf which occurred in October of 1944.
