Fightin' Navy #105

After the devastating Pearl Harbor attack leaves a once-proud battleship sunk in the harbor's shallow waters, Commander Lanson refuses to let her become scrap—he convinces the Navy to let him and his crew raise and restore her themselves, using improvised methods and sheer determination to overcome seemingly impossible odds. With the Navy unwilling to spare resources or drydock time, Lanson's men work around the clock, learning diving, welding, and salvage work while performing feats of maintenance and repair that skilled technicians said couldn't be done. By June 1942, the gleaming battleship is recommissioned and ready for combat, a testament to Lanson's unwavering belief that his ship deserves a second chance.

Lt. Comdr. Bryan Walsh commands the USS Yellowfin into a trap—a shallow, communist-held harbor where Naval Intelligence feared the distress call was a fake. Trapped between enemy destroyers and incoming land forces, Walsh devises an audacious plan: abandon ship, haul the deck gun ashore, and turn the tables on the Red Chinese fleet. With quick thinking and his crew's grit, he fights to save his boat and escape the deadly harbor.

When Commander Howard B. Ketchum steams into a tropical harbor aboard a missile cruiser to deliver an urgent message to the local dictator, he expects tension—but not outright betrayal. Del Mundo, the ruthless military leader holding the nation's president captive, has other plans, and Ketchum finds himself taken prisoner before he can even hand over his country's reply. With his men back on the ship watching his every move and armed with electronically guided missiles, the captain must outwit a madman who controls tanks, fighters, and an army of loyal soldiers.
