This reference work provides a brief narrative of each of the recorded attacks on American-flagged merchant ships, as well as an accounting of the men and the ships, which were a part of this worldwide conflict. In addition to the wealth of data on the ships, their crews and cargoes, it depicts the exciting and often violent story of the hundreds of enemy attacks on convoys and lone merchant vessels. Evident within the narrative is the gallantry and sacrifice of naval gun crews and the merchant crewmen.United States merchant marine casualties of World War 2United States merchant marine casualties of World War TwoWorld War, 1939-1945Naval operations, AmericanMerchant marineUnited StatesHistory20th centuryArmed merchant shipsUnited StatesRegistersShipwrecksRegistersShip registersUnited StatesWorld War, 1939-1945Naval operations, American.Merchant marineHistoryArmed merchant shipsShipwrecksShip registers940.54/5973Browning Robert M.1955-1631389Browning Robert M.1955-1631389MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812072903321United States merchant marine casualties of World War II3970152UNINA
