Through these stories we travel from the stormy North Atlantic to the calm Mediterranean, from the East Coast of the United States to the vast reaches of the Pacific, on destroyers from the USS \u003ci\u003eReuben James\u003c\/i\u003e to the USS \u003ci\u003eCallaghan.\u003c\/i\u003e We join them--and their crews of young soldiers--as they engage the enemy and do pitched battle with German submarines, Japanese kamikaze pilots, or long-range cruisers. Filled with eyewitness accounts, precise statistics, and historical contexts for each battle and each ship sunk, \u003ci\u003eBlood on the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e serves as both a tribute to these lost ships and a critical reference guide for historians and veterans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Sinclair Parkin\u003c\/b\u003e spent decades, both during and after his twenty-year career in the U.S. Navy, interviewing veterans and collecting data on the history of American destroyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 408\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.08 x 9.02 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 10, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52635446804787,"sku":"9780306810695","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/0br4fYKZM59780306810695.webp?v=1762257213","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/blood-on-the-sea-american-destroyers-lost-in-world-war-ii-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
