Made up in mid-1944 of sixteen aircraft carriers, over a thousand combat aircraft, and an armada of escorts, it was vital to victory over Japan. In this compelling account, Evan Mawdsley charts the 3,500-mile dash of the “Big Blue Fleet” across the Central Pacific in the first six months of 1944, overwhelming enemy opposition and transforming the nature of naval warfare. The Battle of the Philippine Sea in June 1944 crushed the enemy’s naval air force and secured war-winning air bases in the Mariana Islands. Mawdsley examines the elements of the rapidly assembled force―ships, planes, and 100,000 officers and men―as well as the advanced bases and fleet train that provided such astounding mobility. Task Force 58’s campaign marked the achievement of naval supremacy by the United States, a status it maintains to this day. Review: Excellent and well written - Having read many articles, books and the biographies of King, Nimitz and Spruance on the subject I found this book a great unbiased review of the the actions during this period with excellent detail. It has also inspired me to research further of the events in the Pacific including the involvement of the Royal Navy towards the end of the Pacific War. The British aircraft carriers had a major benefit of the armoured deck over the American carriers which enabled them to continue action even when hit by kamikaze. Review: Not quite what I expected - This got rather bogged down in model type numbers and history prior to what happened and skipped over much of the core battles. It felt like a history of the US navy rather than the battles themselves. I still enjoyed it for that though. Also the editing - I mean so many poorly constructed sentences and words that should have just been removed, never mind the misuse of ‘there’ at times. If you paid for an editor I’d get your money back Mr Mawdsley! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 389,439 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 238 in Maritime History & Piracy (Books) 34,931 in Society, Politics & Philosophy | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 65 Reviews | ## Images ![Supremacy at Sea: Task Force 58 and the Central Pacific Victory - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lxNmEdazL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent and well written *by D***D on 15 June 2024* Having read many articles, books and the biographies of King, Nimitz and Spruance on the subject I found this book a great unbiased review of the the actions during this period with excellent detail.

This would make a good reference book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Supremacy at Sea: Task Force 58 and the Central Pacific Victory - Midway: The Pacific War’s Most Famous Battle - Fifty-Three Days on Starvation Island: The World War II Battle That Saved Marine Corps Aviation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/583763329-supremacy-at-sea-task-force-58-and-the-central-pacific](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/583763329-supremacy-at-sea-task-force-58-and-the-central-pacific) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
