Naval historian Vincent O Hara recounts here the dramatic story of the US Navy s surface fleet in World War II, especially its ship-to-ship combat. He suggests that the fleet's role in America's ultimate victory was far more crucial than commonly credited and holds many lessons for today s Navy and the nation as a whole. His work is the only single volume to treat every surface naval action involving major American warships, both famous and obscure.
