English: This bronze bas-relief titled "Navy in Action" can be found at the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. From the website, nps.gov: "The naval war in the Pacific evolved dramatically during the early months of the war. Battleships that previously dominated the sea, took a back seat to the aircraft carrier. Carriers had the ability to deliver massive amounts of fire power at great distances. This new style of naval warfare played a dramatic role in the success of the United States strategy of hopping from one island to another."
