Don Winslow of the Navy #22
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDon Winslow engages in a dangerous game of submarine football with his crew as a training exercise, using the submarines themselves as "players" in a coordinated formation. When enemy forces attack during the maneuver, the plan backfires as the submarines find themselves under fire, with crew members like Joe Wynn sustaining injuries. Despite the initial strategy's failure against the Japanese opposition, Winslow attempts to call off the football formation plays and reposition the submarines individually, hoping to turn the tide of battle.
Don Winslow and his men seize a strategic island from the Japanese, but their carefully planned operation is compromised when careless talk reaches enemy ears. With their element of surprise lost and lives needlessly spent, Don must abort the mission and retreat—a hard lesson in the cost of loose lips during wartime.
Jetsam Joe learns that his pal Eaglebeak has a solution for everything—even when the answers don't quite add up the way Joe expects. This lighthearted Navy tale plays with Joe's tendency to trust his friend's quick fixes, no matter how peculiar they turn out to be.
Don Winslow and Red Pennington are assigned to oversee a submarine demonstration for British and American officials in England, but when they spot eleven periscopes instead of the expected ten, Don suspects an enemy vessel has infiltrated the lineup. Using a clever football-formation maneuver to identify the impostor without triggering a premature attack, Don must unmask the Nazi submarine before it can carry out its deadly plan against the pier.
