The official chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II
"Ten years after the close of World War II, the U.S. Navy published a chronology of its operations in the war. Now long out of print, the work focused on what were then defined as critical and decisive events. It ignored a multitude of combat actions as well as the loss or damage of many types of U.S. ships and craft - particularly auxiliaries, amphibious ships, and district craft - and entirely omitted the U.S. submarine campaign against Japanese shipping. Now this greatly expanded and updated study, sponsored by the Naval Historical Center, goes far beyond the original work, drawing on information from more than forty additional years of historical research and writing. Massive but well organized, it addresses operational aspects of the U.S. Navy’s war in every theater."
