Moment of Glory
8 pp · war

When Japanese forces ambush the USS Demming in the Coral Sea, Captain Dick Orcutt and his crew are captured and forced aboard their own ship as prisoners destined for Tokyo Bay. As the destroyer is escorted to Rabaul, Orcutt devises a desperate plan to signal American forces and retake his vessel before the Japanese can parade their prize through the empire. With survival on the line and his men counting on him, the captain sets in motion a daring gambit that will test both his ingenuity and his crew's courage.

The Shame of Cruiser X
7 pp · war

When Cruiser X limps into Pearl Harbor after a humiliating defeat at the Coral Sea, her new commanding officer, Captain Ralph Holdeck, faces a crew that's lost all confidence in themselves and their ship. Through relentless drills, iron discipline, and a willingness to prove himself in combat, Holdeck sets out to transform the demoralized sailors into fighting men as they prepare for their ultimate test against a Japanese convoy in the North Pacific.

Last to Leave
1 pp · non-fiction; war

During the Battle of the Solomons, Skipper Forrest P. Sherman commanded the U.S. Aircraft Carrier Wasp when it came under devastating attack—struck by three torpedoes and dive-bomber strikes that ignited catastrophic fires across the ship. Standing amid the inferno on his blazing bridge, Sherman executed a crucial maneuver, reversing the vessel's heading to redirect the flames away from his crew and minimize casualties. His seamanship in those final moments of the Wasp became one of World War 2's most outstanding acts of naval heroism.

On the Shelf
5 pp · war

When Lt. J.G. Zorn freezes under fire during a Japanese air raid on the U.S.S. Ballifant, Captain Hocking orders him off the ship in disgrace—but Zorn's shipmates and the ship's medical officer soon discover he suffered a severe concussion that clouded his judgment, not cowardice. Reassigned to command the small patrol craft PC 55 on supply runs along the New Guinea coast, Zorn gets a chance to prove himself when a wounded coast-watcher signals for help from behind enemy lines. With his head finally clear and his courage restored, Zorn leads a daring rescue mission that begins to set the record straight.
