Did one factor matter more than the others in the U.S. Navy's victory at the Battle of the Philippine Sea?
Short answerNo; radar, fighter direction, aircraft, training, communications, and command structure combined into a cumulative advantage.
NotesThe question separates the Combat Information Center, fighter direction, new aircraft, training, communications, radar, and command structure into possible single causes. None is dominant. Any individual improvement would have offered a limited advantage on its own. Together they created a cumulative system advantage far larger than the contribution of one technology or practice.
