Navy Patrol #2

Three servicemen—Ted Coe, a Marine rifleman; Tom Winston, a Navy gunner; and Lt. Bill Edwards, an aircraft carrier pilot—experience the brutal reality of the Pacific war as the American offensive pushes through island after island toward Japan, each battle etched into their memory with names like Guadalcanal, Saipan, and Tarawa. Their individual struggles across these coral strongholds reveal what those distant place names truly mean to the men who fight for them.

The crew of PT-7 fights a relentless night-long battle off Guadalcanal, intercepting Japanese supply convoys and destroying ammunition dumps under cover of darkness. As enemy reinforcements attempt to reach the island, the small torpedo boat hunts through the blackness, using speed and firepower to disrupt landing operations before dawn breaks and the daytime forces take over the fight. It's a story of precision, grit, and the unending vigilance required to hold the line when the sun goes down.
