Military 2019 SS

18 2019 NEW RELEASES USS Tennessee (BB-43) From Pearl Harbor to Okinawa in World War II David Doyle Although bombed at Pearl Harbor, USS Tennessee was back to sea before the year was over. The crew of the resilient warship fought from Alaska’s Aleutian Islands to Tokyo Bay, surviving enemy artillery, bombs, and kamikaze attacks, and even collisions with other American warships. In 1945, Tennessee took part in the famous Battle of Surigao Strait, the last battleship-versus-battleship combat in history. The hundreds of photographs in this volume, many previously unpublished, trace this history of this iconic warship from its launching in Brooklyn in 1919 to its scrapping in Baltimore forty years later.
