Fightin' Navy #93

When a U.S. destroyer is crippled by a Japanese torpedo in the South China Sea during 1942, her crew beaches the damaged vessel on a remote island to await rescue—but the Captain discovers an ingenious way to get the parts they need and rejoin the fight. With help from a friendly submarine, the crew repairs their ship and sets out on a dangerous mission to intercept a massive Japanese troop convoy heading to reinforce Guadalcanal. It's a tense race against the odds as the destroyer and submarine work together to turn the tide of war in the Pacific.

When a German pocket cruiser begins raiding Allied convoys in the Caribbean, Lt. Luther Bliss and his aging destroyer pursue the menace—only to discover the enemy ship is operating from a secret island base. Two naval intelligence officers, Ensign Pullen and McBain, infiltrate the Nazi stronghold and manage to transmit a signal that reveals the island's location to the U.S. Navy. With the coordinates pinpointed, a fast cruiser task group and carrier planes race to strike before the Germans can silence the men on the ground.

When Lt. Ed Walsh, beloved captain of the destroyer DD479, is killed in a brutal encounter with Japanese forces off Guadalcanal, his replacement arrives: the iron-fisted Lt. Comdr. Conrad Langner, whose strict discipline and harsh punishments quickly earn him the bitter hatred of the entire crew. As the ship heads out on patrol through dangerous waters, the men seethe with resentment—until they face a massive Japanese convoy and discover that their new skipper's methods may be more than just tyranny.
