The Forgotten Navy (Hardcover)

The Forgotten Navy is John Stockton's firsthand account of his service in the U.S. Naval Armed Guard during World War II. Stockton takes us back with him to his days of service aboard the Liberty Ship William B. Allison. His stories cover a broad range, from being shot at by a kamikaze pilot to catching an 80-pound kingfish with a makeshift pole to surviving a violent hurricane while at sea and a hit by a Japanese torpedo. The Forgotten Navy brings to life some of the experiences of those who served with the Armed Guard, the almost-forgotten branch of the Navy that served to defend America's fleet of merchant ships.
