Philippine Sea seminar frame

The live discussion frames the Battle of the Philippine Sea as a seminar on carrier warfare, the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, and Kantai Kessen.

Notes

This live stream discusses the Battle of the Philippine Sea rather than repeating the full chronological long-patrol account. It opens with the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, Japanese Kantai Kessen thinking, and the broader point that naval aviation developed differently for different strategic needs. This opening gives viewers the terms and purpose of the discussion before the individual questions begin.
