I had a neighbor, Bert Miller, that was a submariner out of Pearl Harbor. He told me the Japanese didn't touch the subs, the fuel supply, shops, and other things that bit them in the azz through the war. The Japanese went after the capital ships, aircraft, and airfields. Bert told me "auxiliaries" (reservists) kept us fighting until a regular force could be built up. Bert had a lot of respect for the reservists.
