In this episode Craig, Ian and Justin cover the differences between the battle for the Atlantic vs the Pacific. 

During WW2 the Atlantic and Pacific theaters were quite different. For example, submarine warfare for both the axis and allies were dramatically different in the Pacific vs Atlantic. In the Pacific amphibious assault was mastered by the Americans, and this experience proved extremely valuable for the D-Day landings in the Atlantic. The Surface engagements in the Pacific were enormous clashes, often involving aircraft carriers, while in the Atlantic is more akin to wild hunts. 

The strategy of the axis was dramatically different in both theaters, for example Nazi Germany heavily focused on submarine warfare against merchant fleets, while the Japanese initially only used their submarines against enemy warships.
