Fightin' Navy #93

A U.S. Navy task force under Captain Conrad locates a Japanese destroyer that attempted to raid a convoy by tracking a weak radio signal transmitted by a man named McBain from a Dutch-owned island; after sinking the destroyer and a follow-up convoy, the Navy suffers crew casualties when the surviving Japanese sailors prove willing to fight to the death rather than surrender. The skipper, Ed Walsh, receives word that three Japanese survivors plan to return to Japan to report the losses, prompting the Navy to pursue them to Australia; Walsh reflects on the crew's sacrifice and his determination to stop the enemy, ultimately engaging the destroyer in a climactic battle.
