In the past, whenever I thought of the Japanese role in WW1, it was always as a glorified garrison state. A side show which ultimately did very little for the Allied cause besides denying Germany some resources. Oh, how wrong I was! This is the story of the Second Special Squadron, a detachment of the Imperial Japanese Navy dispatched to the Mediterranean to help protect British and other Allied shipping against German and Austro-Hungarian U-boat attacks during one of the most pivotal moments in the entire war.
