They explore how these daring raids by US Navy carriers, while not always resulting in immediate victories, shifted the momentum of the Pacific War. The discussion covers the strategic and psychological impacts on both the United States and Japan, detailing how the raids forced Japan to reallocate resources and rethink their defensive strategies. They highlight notable raids, such as those on the Marshall Islands, Wake Island, and the Doolittle Raid, illustrating the evolution of carrier warfare and its lasting significance.
