The bitter lessons of Tarawa taught the US invasion planners that more of everything was needed: more firepower from the air & the sea. New ships & weapons were therefore brought into use in the landings on Kwajelein. By the time that the 7th Army Division had landed on the beaches of Kwajelein, its shores had been pounded for 3 days!.*
