Fightin' Navy #116

Lt. Bob Cavell never wanted to be in the Navy—forced into active duty as a reserve pilot just when his civilian career was taking off, he's been flying combat missions over Korea with his heart nowhere near the fight. When his damaged jet forces him to ditch in the Pacific, a Communist submarine surfaces nearby with a deadly plan: use the stranded pilot as bait to ambush the American rescue operation. Now Cavell faces the ultimate test—not just survival, but whether he can finally find the courage and commitment his country desperately needs from him.

A young sailor aboard the USS Redray submarine must live with a devastating mistake during a combat patrol in the South China Sea—but when enemy destroyers trap his crippled boat in a lagoon cove, he gets an unexpected chance at redemption. Captured by Japanese forces and facing interrogation, he seizes a desperate opportunity to sabotage the enemy destroyer shelling his sub, turning the tide of battle in ways neither side anticipated. This 1964 war tale captures the razor-thin margin between failure and heroism on the deadly Pacific front.
