Fightin' Navy #122

Below the second turret of a battleship, BM2C Paul Bissell and the wounded Machinist's Mate Second Class Pincus work frantically to load the final rounds into a damaged turret after a Japanese bomber crashes on top of it, knowing a single spark could trigger a catastrophic explosion. With the ship under air attack and the turrets still operational, Bissell risks everything to ensure the guns are fired before the volatile load detonates, turning a desperate salvage mission into a final, crucial salvo.

A young gunner and his weary partner man a ship’s anti-aircraft gun during a relentless kamikaze attack in the Pacific War, holding their position as waves of enemy planes close in. With the destroyer under siege and their comrades injured, they face one final, terrifying assault—testing their resolve and skill in the face of a deadly new enemy.

A decade after surviving a deadly encounter with U-boat captain Herr Kapitan Heinrich von Bintz during World War I, young Lieutenant Bernard Lang returns to the South American nation of Rio Blanco as a naval consul, now tasked with monitoring the increasingly suspicious activities of von Bintz, who has taken a high-ranking diplomatic post under the country’s president. As Lang uncovers signs of secret Nazi operations and a hidden submarine base being built near the old wreck of his former ship, he must stay one step ahead of a vengeful enemy who still sees him as a symbol of past defeat.
