Descripton: From the publisher: "This collection of popular naval stories covers the entire span of World War II, beginning when Britain’s Royal Navy faced fascist forces on its own until the final Allied victory over the Japanese in 1945. It offers a rich mixture of stories about such large and well-known battles and operations as the Battle of the River Plate, Pearl Harbor, and the Battle of the Coral Sea, and such lesser-known actions as the submarine attack on Corfu harbor, the loss of USS Leedstown, and the saga of USS Rich to characterize the breadth and variety of the war at sea."
