Shipbuilding and Fleet Repair in the PTO with Sal Mercogliano – Episode 549

Unauthorized History of the Pacific War · 1h56m · Apr 07

World War II Logistics & Supply Naval

Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall bring on maritime historian Sal Mercogliano to cover US Navy shipbuilding from the mid-1930s expansion through the Two Ocean Navy Act, plus the overlooked topic of at-sea fleet repair in the Pacific. Nearly two hours on the industrial backbone that actually won the war — the kind of logistics-and-production episode that rarely gets this much airtime but absolutely deserves it. If you care about why the US could absorb losses and keep fighting while Japan couldn't, this is the one.
