Fightin' Navy #97

This anthology issue contains multiple naval war stories. "A Tough Chicken" follows a gunner's mate during combat in a narrow channel between Guadalcanal and neighboring islands when Japanese destroyers attack; the helmsman turns the ship hard to avoid the assault, and the crew must hold their positions through the intense action. "Miss Emily II" involves PT skippers receiving orders to retrieve a ship's captain from an island, with plans to use the fog as cover for a hidden approach about an hour's run away. The issue also includes "They Refused to Die" and "The Last Rendezvous," stories featuring naval combat and wartime heroism.
