Imagining World War Ⅱ

摘要

Imagine the Second World War, fought across the globe on an industrial scale that will never be possible again. Imagine a navy with 4.2 million personnel and 6,700 combatant vessels, from PT boats to battleships. Imagine a scale of conflict so great that it cost nearly 300 of those combatants (more ships than the U.S. Navy currently possesses) including 11 aircraft carriers, 52 submarines and 62,000 men-and still defeated two of the world's greatest navies within four months of each other. Imagine an inventory so immense that it could lose 150 aircraft in a day-and make good the deficit. The Aviation Appeal Before I joined the Navy, I was interested in computers. I was trying to get in the electronics field. When it came to choosing my rate, I'd seen electronics, but I didn't really see the aviation part of it, but now that I'm in it, I love it. I learn. It has me going.
