4.9/5 (16606 ratings)

Description:Greyhounds of the Pacific is a comprehensive historical overview of American destroyer operations in the Pacific during World War II. While destroyers initially served in convoy protection roles in the Atlantic, their function in the Pacific shifted as they became independent forces that played a vital part in the war’s outcome. This book examines their transformation from prewar support ships to key players in the Pacific theater, highlighting their adaptability and contributions. This captivating narrative history begins with the destroyers’ actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor and follows their involvement in major battles, including the Solomons campaign and later efforts against kamikaze attacks and Japanese submarines. It explores how these ships operated in restricted waters, developed new tactics, and adapted to the unique challenges of the Pacific War.Engagingly written and rich with operational detail, Greyhounds of the Pacific uses photographs, maps, and technical specifications to provide a comprehensive understanding of these ships and their impact. Maps illustrate key operational areas, including Pearl Harbor, the Solomons, Okinawa, and Japan. Unlike many books that focus on specific ships or battles, Greyhounds of the Pacific provides a broader history of destroyer operations, emphasizing their evolution and contributions to victory in the Pacific. This theater was entirely different from what they faced protecting convoys in the North Atlantic, and it brought the Tin Can Sailors against a wholly distinct adversary in the Japanese, who were fighting to hold island territory. All readers of World War II naval combat and Pacific warfare will gain a clear perspective on the destroyers’ role in shaping the war’s outcome.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
