It's early spring, 1943, and the US is at last finding its footing in the war in the Pacific. Devastated by the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, the US Navy was forced to concede territory after territory to the superior Japanese Navy. For a year, the American Destroyer USS O'Bannon has been on the front lines of the second world war, doing its best to buy time for America's new fleet to be built and launched.
The Battle of Guadalcanal has proven pivotal for American forces, and though the Americans lost the greater number of forces, it resulted in a strategic victory for the US Navy which saw attempts to reinforce Japanese bases repelled. For some, the war is officially in an upswing, and the momentum of battle is shifting across the war-torn Pacific. America's sleeping giant is well and truly awoken.
