Fightin' Navy #97

A submarine crew stalks a seemingly empty stretch of ocean near a remote island, only to discover it's the rendezvous point for three separate Japanese task units—and they're perfectly positioned to strike. With radio direction-finding bearings and split-second timing, the skipper orchestrates a coordinated torpedo attack that catches the enemy fleet at anchor, turning their numbers into a fatal advantage. It's a tense cat-and-mouse game where patience, intelligence, and precise naval tactics deliver a decisive victory.

A crippled battleship supposedly sent to the bottom by a Japanese task force refuses to stay dead—Captain Bannock and his battered crew coax Lady X back into action to ambush the enemy fleet anchored in a nearby cove. With damage control and fog as their only advantages, they navigate a treacherous channel to catch Admiral Nomoru's forces completely off guard and turn a devastating defeat into something far more memorable.

When a Navy crew comes under attack from Japanese destroyers in the narrow waters off Guadalcanal, Gunner's Mate Androski accuses Lt. Hawley of cowardice—and the rest of the crew can't shake the doubt, even after they make their escape. Back at base, Androski's accusation and the skipper's silence create a rift that threatens to tear the boat apart, until a dangerous mission gives both men a chance to settle the question once and for all.

Lt. JG Pat Devers and his crew on PT 29 are stuck with a reputation—their boat's been nicknamed "Miss Emily II" by other skippers because high command keeps assigning them showcase duties instead of combat patrols, much to the crew's frustration. When an emergency medical evacuation to a remote island finally gives them a chance to prove themselves, Devers discovers that real heroism comes not from avoiding the "glamor boat" label, but from embracing the mission at hand, no matter what form it takes.
