“The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailers” has been on my reading list for a long time.

I recently read “Neptune’s Inferno.” Those Naval battles were incredibly intense. The Japanese were very good with their Destroyers at the outset.

Great book I read this year as well. Without the Navy and the Cactus Air Force, Guadalcanal and the 1st Marine Division would’ve been lost. It blew me away that for every 1 marine killed on the canal, almost 3 US sailers died.
