Fightin' Navy #84
This issue contains two stories: the first depicts a naval convoy under attack by German U-boats during wartime, with depth charges and torpedoes exchanged as two submarines close in and destroy cargo ships while a destroyer attempts to engage them. The second story follows a diver who witnesses a school bus hit and sink into water, then risks his life diving 24 feet down in dangerous conditions to rescue children trapped inside the vehicle. The issue also includes a non-fiction article titled "The Navy Looks to Space" discussing the Navy's involvement in rocket research, satellite development, and upper atmosphere exploration programs dating back to 1946.
