Out of 820 U-Boats, 718 were destroyed in action; out of 39,000 men, only 7,000 survived the war. What gives flesh to these horrifying statistics is this account by Peter ‘Ali’ Cremer. He was one of the thre senior U-boat commanders to survive.
This large format book lists all auxiliary escort vessels of the U.S. Navy in WW2, including ex-British corvettes, the famous “Eagle” boats of WW1, and converted fishing craft and yachts. Provides specifications of the various vessels, together with details of each vessel’s launch date, builder and fate.
Over 140 warships from 125 countries preserved as museums or memorials are detailed here. Arranged by country, each entry provides type and class (when appropriate), tonnage, armament, propulsion, speed, fuel capacity, crew, date launched, and other relevant statistics based on the ship’s era.
