Naval Conflicts of The Second World War.

During the conflicts at sea, which were located at the Atlantic Ocean, during the second world war, very few have appreciated the swinging pendulum, which was the fortune of the German Navy. They changed a big disadvantage, of not having a sailing aviation arm, into an advantage, as they developed a formidable submarine fleet, and this, in the end, was also the cause of their downfall, as they neglected their surface naval ships, and mainly concentrated their efforts towards their submarine arm. After their dominance overseas, and on the continent of Europe was ended, they had effectively lost the war. Without a reasonably balanced Navy, no nation which has a large coastline, can hope to keep military events at a certain balance, for a duration of time. I have never known of voices in the German Navy, complain of their various needs and wants, during the Great War. The Air Force of Germany, was very active near the coastline of occupied Europe, but near to, and further, than the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, they did not have the resources, to control events at sea. They were a nation, with a relatively new naval history. The Japanese Navy, on the other hand, could make Aircraft Carriers from merchant ships. If one is to measure the military intent of any seafaring nation, then one should measure the estimate of her navy. It is relatively easier to move material on water, than on land. This is due to the congestion and limitations of land routes. The advantages of having a large coastline, are also its own disadvantages. Ones advantages, are also shared by one's enemy.
