U.S. Merchant Vessel War Casualties of World War II

About this book

An account of the tremendous losses suffered by the American Merchant Marine during the war identifying those ships flying under the American flag (including Philippine vessels) that the Coast Guard and the Navy documented as receiving damage or being lost through some action of the enemy as well as the attendant circumstances of their loss. Browning uses the Coast Guards determination of a war casualty rather than the Navys Survivors Statements to define the entries. Includes an appended listing of poorly documented losses and a glossary. Annotation c. by Book News Inc. Portland Or.
