Antisubmarine Warrior in the Pacific Six Subs Sunk in Twelve Days

A first-hand account of the USS England's accomplishments, written by its commanding officer. The USS England was a 1200-ton, 306-foot, long-hull destroyer escort. Commissioned into service in late 1943 and dispatched to the Pacific the following February, the England and its crew, in one 12-day period in 1944, sank more submarines than any other ship in U.S. naval history: of the six targets attacked, all six were destroyed. For this distinction, legendary in the annals of antisubmarine warfare, the ship and her crew were honored with the Presidential Unit Citation.Williamson, John A. is the author of 'Antisubmarine Warrior in the Pacific Six Subs Sunk in Twelve Days', published 2005 under ISBN 9780817314156 and ISBN 0817314156.
