Drawing on his experience as a gunnery officer in the USS Maury, Crenshaw's vivid, balanced, and detailed narrative includes the Battle of Tassafaronga in November 1942 and Vella Gulf in August 1943, actions that earned his warship a Presidential Unit Citation and sixteen battle stars. Crenshaw also discusses the impact of radar and voice radio, the shortcomings of U.S. torpedoes and gunfire, and the devastating effectiveness of Japan's super torpedo. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Crenshaw, Russell Sydnor,|d1920- 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|vPersonal narratives, American. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xCampaigns|zSolomon Islands. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xNaval operations, American. 700 1 Jones, Alan Bomar.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 10755971?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781452623863_180.jpeg
