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. 517 3 $aUnited States merchant marine casualties of World War 2 517 3 $aUnited States merchant marine casualties of World War Two 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations, American 606 $aMerchant marine$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aArmed merchant ships$zUnited States$vRegisters 606 $aShipwrecks$vRegisters 606 $aShip registers$zUnited States 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations, American. 615 0$aMerchant marine$xHistory 615 0$aArmed merchant ships 615 0$aShipwrecks 615 0$aShip registers 676 $a940.54/5973 700 $aBrowning$b Robert M.$f1955-$01631389 701 $aBrowning$b Robert M.$f1955-$01631389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812072903321 996 $aUnited States merchant marine casualties of World War II$93970152 997 $aUNINA
