Fightin' Navy #115
"Hit and Run" depicts a naval battle where American sailors must execute a dangerous raid against enemy forces. The main story "The Nazi Ghost" follows Allied naval operations during World War II, in which American forces encounter a German pocket battleship (the Dussel) heading toward England that was thought to be destroyed. After receiving intelligence that the vessel is steaming toward British waters, Allied command dispatches a squadron to intercept and destroy it before it can reach its destination. The operation involves coordinated naval and air attacks, with American PT boats engaging the enemy vessel in a climactic confrontation.
