"The Navy used Hellcats between 1943 and 1946 before phasing them out after the peak of the war". That phrase at best is poorly worded, at wost implies the peak of the war was 1946. If I had to describe an event as the peak of the Pacific war, I would have used Midway, and the use was phased *in* during 1943 (which can at least be plausibly argued as the peak of the war).
