It was indeed. Hard to believe its been that long... I mean, they NEVER shut up about it... [lol] It still blows my mind that I was only born 15 years after WW2 ended. In my mind I kinda lump in WW2 & the Roman Empire as 'historical events'...
Thinking about it... I do (almost) ignore the Pacific War.. Maybe I should address that?
The island-hopping strategy & carrier battle groups idea always impressed me. I've watched some very good YouTube documentaries about the conflict, just never read much about it, or indeed own many books about it. My WW2 focus tends to be Europe (including Britain), North Africa and the Atlantic.

It was a fascinating arena. The logistical challenges were a LOT different.
