Regia Marina, Italian Battleships of World War Two
A Pictorial History
by Erminio Bagnasco and Mark Grossman
In June 1940, Italy possessed one of the world’s largest fleets. However, the navy, as the country itself, was not prepared for major conflict. The command structure was unwieldy and cooperation with the air force was poor. The foe, the Royal Navy, was well trained, and while numerically inferior, was the guardian of a magnificent tradition. Not always apparent was British superiority in other fields. The Royal Navy helped develop seaborne radar. British intelligence was reading coded German and Italian communications. Despite these disadvantages, the Italian Navy waged an active war. The large losses sustained bear witness to this.

Gray Ghost
The R.M.S. Queen Mary at War
by Steve Harding
The outbreak of the Second World War on September 3, 1939, found the R.M.S. Queen Mary nearing the end of her 143rd Atlantic crossing. She had sailed from Southampton four days earlier with a record 2,332 passengers aboard, the vast majority of whom were Americans hoping to escape the general European holocaust that suddenly seemed inevitable. Now those halcyon days of shipboard galas and sumptuous banquets, of celebrity passengers and trans-Atlantic speed records was over. The world was at war.

That Gallant Ship
U.S.S. Yorktown (CV-5)
by Robert Cressman
Yorktowners are fiercely proud of their ship, and justifiably so. In retrospect, among all of the Pacific Fleet’s carriers operating between Pearl Harbor and Midway Yorktown seemed to be the best-handled and best-run; her captain, an unquestionably excellent ship handler, among the most competent. She had operated in the Atlantic during the undeclared war with the German Navy. She had been at war long before her sistership Enterprise (CV-6) sailed for Wake Island in November 1941.

War On The Rivers
A Swift Boat Sailor’s
Chronicle of the Battle
for the Mekong Delta
by Weymouth D. Symmes
Fought on the canals and rivers of the Mekong Delta, this was a private, dirty little war waged beyond the view of the cameras of the news services and often beyond the view of senior military command. It was a furious, savage war, where firefights often occurred twice a day, rarely less than once, and hand-to-hand combat was not unheard of. Hundreds of men were killed on both sides, and the survivors were scarred for life.
