Fightin' Navy #92

In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor, nineteen-year-old Seaman 2C Herbert Aragon proves his courage under fire, manning a 20mm gun despite severe injuries and helping save his damaged destroyer. Later, as a newly commissioned ensign, he struggles with the disconnect between his combat experience and his assignment to shore patrol, ultimately seeking a return to active duty with the amphibious forces.

In the wake of Pearl Harbor, a stranded PT boat squadron is marooned far from help, forced to adapt when their fuel and supplies run low. With their commander dead and only one torpedo left, Ensign Lang takes command, leading his crew to hide their boats in a river and form an alliance with local Filipino fighters to ambush Japanese troops. Though cut off from the sea, they find new purpose on land—waiting, preparing, and planning a daring strike with salvaged weapons and a long-shot chance to reclaim their naval mission.

When the USS Shark returns to Sydney for repairs, the arrival of new Ensign Jan Marinell stirs unease among the crew, who recognize him as a famous pianist and movie star—far from the hardened sailor they expected. As the submarine heads into combat near Korea, Marinell’s nerves nearly cost him his life during a battle, but when a live enemy torpedo strikes the hull, he volunteers to disarm it, proving his courage and earning the crew’s trust in a tense, silent ordeal.

In the midst of World War I, the U.S.S. Typhoon, a submarine crewed by men of high courage, survives a brutal depth-charge assault by enemy destroyers, enduring extreme pressure, failing systems, and suffocating air as they wait on the ocean floor. With limited oxygen, damaged equipment, and no guarantee of survival, the crew must endure the terrifying silence and physical strain while praying the ship can still be brought back to the surface.
