Discover how the USS Essex and her 23 sister Essex-class aircraft carriers formed the backbone of American naval power that crushed Japan’s carrier fleet and reshaped Pacific warfare forever. This documentary reveals how American industry produced 24 Essex-class carriers between 1941–1945, each carrying 90–100 aircraft, while Japan struggled to complete just a handful throughout the war.
Witness the decisive moments of history:
• The Marianas Turkey Shoot, where American pilots destroyed 346 Japanese aircraft in a single day
• The Battle of Leyte Gulf, where Essex carriers sank Japan’s last operational flattops
• Over 5,000 enemy aircraft destroyed and 200,000 tons of warships sunk—all without losing a single Essex-class carrier
Featuring detailed analysis of battles, production statistics, and firsthand accounts from heroes like Commander David McCampbell (34 enemy planes downed) and Admiral Raymond Spruance, this video shows how American shipyards, completing one carrier every two months, made Japan’s losses impossible to replace. By 1944, American industrial democracy had made victory mathematically certain, proving that modern warfare is won not just by courage, but by production capacity and logistics.
