A great start but ran out of momentum

I really enjoy Robert Conroy's alternate history novels. I read Himmler's War and was really looking forward to reading this novel. It started out great and for the first half of the book I could hardly put it down. I really enjoyed the characters and their development. However, the story then ran out of gas after the halfway point and you could pretty much predict the rest of the story. It was inevitable that the Japanese fleet would get wiped out off the Baja coast. Even knowing from the midpoint on how it was going to end the ending was a real let down.
The monumental scale of Japanese ineptitude required to make such an ending possible is hardly plausible. The battle of the Baja Coast was not battle and but a heavily lopsided massacre like we saw in Gulf War I and II, not interesting at all! Had Conroy made the battle been a near run thing complete with the inevitable mistakes and missed opportunities on both sides it would have a lot more believable and exciting.
