Fightin' Navy #96

Chief Ted Carmen survives when the U.S.S. Parrot is sunk in the South China Sea, but the crew suspects him of cowardice—until he's reassigned to a new submarine hunting in the same waters. When depth charges force the submarine into the very spot where the Parrot went down, a ghostly second chance arrives: the wreck itself rises from the depths, drawing enemy fire and proving Carmen's innocence in a way no words ever could.

A U.S. Navy cruiser patrolling the Korean coast in December 1950 races to support a trapped Marine battalion—but first must locate and neutralize a heavily fortified Communist stronghold hidden in the mountains above a narrow harbor. When a wounded Marine reaches the ship with vital intelligence about enemy gun positions and supply caches, Captain Pender makes a desperate gamble to strike at the heart of the enemy's operation, drawing intense fire from hundreds of guns while trying to hit an impossible target.

When the Nazis sink Bob Hayes's destroyer in the North Atlantic, he's reassigned to a merchant freighter—only to discover his brother Ed is already aboard, having chosen the Merchant Marine for steady pay over patriotic duty. As their ship joins a desperate convoy bound for Murmansk laden with ammunition, the brothers must confront their different reasons for serving when German U-boats and Stukas descend in a relentless assault. Facing fear and danger alongside each other, they learn what it truly means to fight for something bigger than themselves.
