At the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Navy did not have a single oceangoing ship that could deliver cargo and tanks directly to shore without the benefit of piers or cranes. Inspired from the near catastrophic evacuation of Dunkirk, the LST (Landing Ship, Tank) enabled the amphibious counterattack against the Japanese. Experience the daily life and fight for survival as told by sailors of LST-681. The journal follows the career of Edwin Wells Johnson, a radioman, who served aboard LST-681 throughout the war. Included are excerpts from Captain Louis Jerry Spengler and Motor Machinist Grady Lemar Marchman, my grandfather.

There were 231,000 men and 10,000 women who served in the Coast Guard during World War II. – and 1,918 of them did not return home. At its height, the Coast Guard manned 802 ocean going cutters, 351 naval vessels, 288 Army watercraft, smaller vessels assigned to escort and port security, and 165 aircraft. Stephen C. Stripe, an amateur historian whose father, Max E. Stripe, served in the Coast Guard during World War II, tells the fascinating story of LST 791 and her Coast Guard crew, from commissioning to the end of the war in this book. The book focuses on Okinawa, which was the site of the largest amphibious invasion during the war in the Pacific. LST 791 delivered Marines and supplies to the invasion beaches. Its crew manned weapons during a kamikaze assault to protect a nearby hospital ship. When the war ended, the crew shifted from preparing to invade Japan to transporting occupation troops to the string of islands. The book includes the memoirs of Skipper Lt. Cmdr. A. Duncan to provide firsthand observations and details on the important role that LST 791 played.

The Navy of World War II, 1922-1946 comprehensively covers the vessels that defined this momentous 24-year period in U.S. naval history. Beginning with the lean, pared-down navy created by the treaty at the Washington Naval Conference, and ending with the massive, awe-inspiring fleets that led the Allies to victory in the Second World War, the fourth volume in the celebrated U.S. Navy Warship series presents a detailed guide to all the warships that exhibited the might of the U.S. Navy to the fullest. Showcasing all the ships—both the famous and the often overlooked-that propelled the U.S Navy to prominence in the first half of the twentieth century, The Navy of World War II catalogues all the warships from this era, including those that did battle in the European, Mediterranean, and Pacific Theaters from 1941-1946. From the fleet attacked at Pearl Harbor, to those that fought valiantly in the Battle of the Guadalcanal, to the official surrender of the Japanese on the deck of the USS Missouri, this latest volume is the definitive guide to the warships that defined this pivotal period in U.S. naval history. Each volume in the U.S. Navy Warship series represents the most meticulous scholarship for its particular era, providing an authoritative account of every ship in the history of the U. S. Navy from its first incarnation as the Continental Navy to its present position as one of the world’s most formidable naval superpowers. Featuring convenient, easy-to-read tabular lists, every book in the series includes an abundance of illustrations, some never before published, along with figures for actions fought, damages sustained, casualties suffered, prizes taken, and ships sunk, ultimately making the series an indispensable reference tool for maritime buffs and military historians alike.
