Fightin' Navy #81

Commander Al Whalen takes command of a destroyer after its skipper is wounded in a clash with a Nazi submarine, only to discover the enemy vessel is hiding in impossibly shallow waters using tactics no one else has detected. As Whalen pursues the cunning German commander Breuger through narrow underwater channels and rocky gulleys, he must rely on instinct and memory rather than standard sonar to corner his quarry in the treacherous "Torpedo Junction." A tense cat-and-mouse game unfolds as both captains test their wits in waters where conventional naval doctrine offers no advantage.

In 1940, as Hitler's forces seize control of the French navy, the British carrier Hermes launches a desperate plan to cripple the mighty battleship Richeleau before she can be used against them. A small launch crew volunteers for a perilous midnight raid through enemy-patrolled waters to plant depth charges beneath the ship, knowing they'll have to slip past French patrols and extract themselves under fire. "Launch Vs. Battleship" delivers a tense historical action story of courage under impossible odds, drawn from the real naval clash at Dakar.

Seaman Torp Henry fights a paralyzing fear of submarines—the walls seem to close in whenever the dive horn sounds—but when his sub lands a commando party in enemy-held Norway, he volunteers to stay topside and hold off German forces to buy his ship time to escape. Forced into combat on land rather than trapped beneath the waves, Henry discovers a courage he never knew he had, proving there's more to a sailor than the vessel he serves.
