Fightin' Navy #89
The main story, "Guadalcanal Navy," depicts a naval engagement where P.T. boats under Lieutenant Paul Haggerty's command attempt to stop an Imperial Japanese supply operation. A U-boat operating in the Caribbean strikes and sinks a loaded tanker, prompting American naval forces to search for the vessel. The story follows the crew's efforts to locate and combat the enemy submarine, with multiple naval engagements including attacks by an American cruiser, and concludes with the crew preparing to launch a surprise counterattack against the Japanese position. "The Saboteurs" tells of a U-boat operating alone in the Caribbean that has struck again, sinking a loaded tanker near the American coast, leading to coordinated naval search and combat operations to eliminate the submarine threat.
