Well, Dili, but thats why the upgrades come so soon for the USN. I mentioned that the Allies caught up fast.
What you say sounds a bit like "He did not ignore the wall. He just did not react fast enough to avoid crashing into it." [;)]
But it seemed like you were saying "He ignored the wall until he crashed into it!" Dili is saying "He saw the wall coming and slowed down enough to make a softer crash!" [:D]

I like that formulation better than mine.
Dili true, the "Europe first" strategy for sure had an impact, I don´t know enough about the logistic background of the US supporting the British with
naval armament, so how many upgrades were delayed by that and how many by lack of foresight and underestimation of IJN capabilities
is something I cannot rate.
Unnessesary argument though, because whatever the reason, the USN ships (or at least close to none of the major combatants) did not equip modern AAA at the beginning of the pacific war.
Damn now I have to get rid of the "why did the chicken crash into the wall" joke rotating in my head... [8|]
