"This book, written by the commander of one of the subchasers, defines their place in naval history and gives readers a taste of life aboard the wooden warships. It describes the cramped quarters and unforgiving seas as well as the tenacious courage and close bonds formed by the men as they sought out the enemy and confronted nature. Long overshadowed by the larger, faster warships and more glamorous PT boats of World War II, sub chasers, until now, have been mostly forgotten. This work restores the plucky little ships to their hard-earned status as significant members of the fleet. Many of the photos included here were taken by the author during the war."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

The Splendid Five is a true story about five wooden subchasers participating in island invasions in the Pacific during WWII. The U. S. Navy converted these small ships to LCC's in the summer of 1944 in New Caledonia and turned them over to General Douglas MacArthur for his island-hopping campaign. This mighty armada, variously called "The Splinter Fleet" and "The Donald Duck Navy" (because of the Walt Disney logos on the bridge of each), participated in the invasions of Peleliu Island, in the mysterious Palaus, Leyte Gulf (the first invasion of the Philippines), and Lingayen Gulf, on the island of Luzon. Life aboard a subchaser was not at all like life aboard an aircraft carrier, battlewagon, cruiser, tincan, DE, PC, pigboat, or, for that matter, PT-boat. It was unique. And yet its story has never been told. The rumor was that only volunteers would be assigned to these coffins, and that the maximum length of service aboard one of them would be nine months. In the case of the SC-995 I was the only volunteer aboard, and no one, even big John Leavy, who had many physical ailments, including open sores had chronic seasickness, was ever rotated to the States.
