World War II U.S. Navy Vessels in Private Hands - The Boats and Ships Sold and Registered for Commercial and Recreational Purposes Under the American Flag (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days
|
During World War II, the U.S. Navy swiftly expanded to include an
array of vessels, from smaller yachts and fishing boats bought
early in the war for patrol work to fast, modern commercial ships
built to haul troops and supplies. After the Allied victory, this
diverse fleet became unnecessary and the Navy sold many of its
vessels. This comprehensive catalog documents the Navy ships and
boats sold after the war and registered under the American flag for
commercial or recreational purposes. Focusing on those vessels with
names or clearly identifiable hull numbers and crew accommodations,
it chronicles each craft's prewar ownership, wartime history, and
postwar fate. The product of painstaking detective work in a
wide-range of primary sources, this meticulous directory highlights
an unexplored but illuminating aspect of U.S. maritime history.
