Publisher's Synopsis

The Fighting Fleets is a non-fiction book written by Ralph D. Paine, detailing his experiences serving with the American destroyers and their allies during World War I. The book covers a period of five months and provides a vivid account of the author's active service in the war zone. Paine describes the challenges and dangers faced by the sailors, including the constant threat of enemy submarines and mines. He also provides insights into the daily life on board the ships, the camaraderie between the crew members, and the strategies employed by the naval commanders. The book is a valuable historical record of the role played by the American navy in the First World War, and is a must-read for anyone interested in naval history or military memoirs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
