Fightin' Navy #107

Ray Lundy finds himself marooned on a rocky North Sea ledge with a Nazi gunnery officer from the U-boat that torpedoed his tanker—and the German is willing to kill to secure the only life raft available. When the U-boat returns to rescue its stranded crewman, Lundy must act fast and think faster to turn the tables on his enemy before the rising tide claims them both.

After 22 years of Navy service and countless acts of heroism, Chief Warrant Officer Babe Kinsek is devastated when he witnesses what he believes is cowardice from his own son, Seaman Billy Kinsek, during a MiG attack on a destroyer-escort in Korean waters in 1951. Convinced his boy lacks the fiber to be a Navy man, Babe withdraws in shame—but when both their ships are ordered into a dangerous minefield mission together, the Chief discovers the truth about his son's character in the heat of battle.

In March 1813, Commodore Perry commands the construction of a makeshift fleet on Lake Erie to challenge British naval control during the War of 1812—a task that seems impossible until his determination transforms felled trees into nine fighting ships. When the British engage Perry's fleet, his flagship is destroyed almost immediately, but he refuses to surrender the fight, transferring to another vessel to lead his men to a decisive victory that would echo through history.

The rusty cargo ship known as Sad Samantha was the unsung workhorse of the Pacific Fleet during World War II, hauling ammunition, fuel, and supplies directly into combat zones while the Navy's fighting ships got the glory. When the war finally ends and the fleet sails into Tokyo Bay, Samantha's exhausted crew discovers just how much their dangerous, thankless missions meant to the admirals and sailors who depended on them. A hard-edged tribute to the merchant mariners who operated the most expendable—and most essential—vessel in the theater.

When the USS Carson City broadcasts a desperate distress call from the North Atlantic—crippled by enemy fire and taking on water—the Nazis see their chance to finish off a wounded prize. What they don't know is that Captain Moultrie and his crew have set an elaborate trap, baiting the enemy's last powerful warship, the Rensbruuk, out of safe harbor and into open water where Allied forces are waiting. As the German cruiser closes in for what it believes will be an easy kill, the Carson City transforms from helpless target into a fighting ship ready to strike back.
