The Japanese sweep into the Indian Ocean resulted in the only fleet sized clash between Japan and Britain in the whole of World War II. It was a fascinating clash between two divergent traditions and theories of war at sea, both of which were perfectly valid in their own circumstances. Both strategically and tactically the result appeared to be clearly decisive, and yet curiously it turned out not to be so, for the victors did not capitalise on their successes.
