Deep in the Western Pacific, the battle rages. Loitering munitions circle overhead, each waiting its turn to dive into the enemy fleet below. One-way attack boats swarm through green waters, their low profiles obscured by wavetops in the waning daylight. In every domain, the combatants employ disruptive new technologies and tactics alongside legacy capabilities and concepts. No, this battle is not for Taiwan in 2030. The year is 1945, and an Allied naval task force is seizing the island of Okinawa against a ferocious Japanese defense.
