Post Description

The first major sea battle of World War 2 in the Pacific. 
The US Asiatic Fleet joined with three allied fleets to face up to the powerful Imperial Japanese Navy. 
It was no contest. The allied fleet was wiped out. 
This film by Dutch Film director, Niek Koppen is a superb documentary of this sacrificial battle. 
It is the winner of a Golden Calf Award and many other awards.
The film "The Last Stand of the USS Houston (Death Becomes The Ghost)" is an important companion to this film.
The INJ effectively removed the expected support of the US Navy from PearlHarbor. 
The Asiatic Fleet and its Dutch, British and Australian Allies were left alone, outgunned, with older ships and no air support.
