description: Danger and excitement abound!In this second book of the Long Gray Target series, you join Commander Ed Palmer and the dedicated officers and men of the USS Woodside as they fight desperately to meet the threat of a skilled and dedicated enemy.December 7, 1941, brought the United States officially into World War 2, but the ships of the Atlantic Fleet had been firing in anger for months. USS Woodside had already fought submarines and airplanes and the events of that fateful December Sunday simply made the war official. The United States was not yet prepared to fight a full two-ocean war and our resources were slim, but our ally, England, was hanging on by a thin thread—and the thinnest thread of that thin cord was the convoy lifeline bringing food and equipment from North America to that beleaguered island nation. Overcoming the U-boat peril was vital to England’s survival, and Woodside is in the thick of it.Whether battling stealthy U-boats, cagy surface ships, or elusive aircraft, Woodside has faced them all—and has the scars to prove it.In the process, the crew found that visiting locations as varied as Nova Scotia, Iceland, England, Gibraltar, Cape Town, Mombasa, Suez, and Brazil proved the truth of the recruiting promise to “Join the Navy and See the World!”Come aboard USS Woodside and experience the excitement—but don’t forget to wear your battle helmet!As always—the story is fiction, but the history is real!
