Субъективные замечания

Конечно, статья Мура, написанная полвека назад, имеет сегодня относительную ценность, однако она все-таки небезынтересна. Прежде всего, в ней излагаются кое-какие малоизвестные детали проектирования «Синано». И главный нюанс. Сегодня очень много кричат, что в книге «Сломанный меч» излагаются неизвестные детали летных операций японских авианосцев. Но, как мы видим, Мур упомянул о кардинальных различиях между японской и американской практикой в своей статье еще 50 лет назад. Он не вдавался в подробности, но концепция «Синано» родилась именно из этих различий. Так что Тулли и Паршелл Америку не открыли.
