- catalog abstract ""This collection of popular naval stories covers the entire span of World War II, beginning when the British Royal Navy faced fascist forces on its own until the final Allied victory over the Japanese in 1945. Fight for the Sea offers a rich mixture of accounts about such large and well-known battles and operations as the Battle of the River Plate, Pearl Harbor, and the Battle of the Coral Sea, as well as lesser-known actions such as the submarine attack on Corfu harbor, the loss of the USS Leedstown, and the saga of the USS Rich to characterize the breadth and variety of the war at sea. Also included are memories of John F. Kennedy's heroic actions with PT 109 and George H.W. Bush's near-death experience with an aircraft known as the "flying casket.""--Jacket.".
