[213]-221) and index. 330 $aThe first authoritative history of any of the more than 350 attack transports or attack cargo ships of World War II, Combat Loaded: Across the Pacific on the USS Tate contains gripping combat narratives alongside the sometimes heartwarming, sometimes tragic details of daily life on board the ships of Transport Squadron 17 during the waning days of World War II. Author Thomas E. Crew interviewed over fifty veterans of the Tate, including all her surviving officers. Crew weaves a rich tapestry of voices, combining it with extensive analysis of the Tate's daily action reports and ship's logs, accented by lively letters of the period from private collections--including previously unpublished accounts of the last days of famed war correspondent Ernie Pyle. Crew also presents a rare unit-level perspective of joint operations involving the infantry fighting ashore and the navy transports that sustained them with their vital combat cargo. The resulting richly illustrated work presents perhaps the most comprehensive account to date of the experiences and courageous contributions of those who served on amphibious transports during World War II. 410 0$aTexas A & M University military history series ;$v108. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns$zPacific Ocean 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations, American 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xRegimental histories$zUnited States 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xTransportation$zUnited States 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xNaval operations, American. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xRegimental histories 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xTransportation 676 $a940.54/5973 700 $aCrew$b Thomas E.$f1957-$01861176 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959410703321 996 $aCombat loaded$94467262 997 $aUNINA
