Tin Can Man is the story of World War II in the Pacific as seen through the eyes of the teen-age sailors aboard the U.S.S. Saufley, one of the most highly decorated destroyers of the war. EJ takes the reader on a first-person tour of the Old Navy from boot camp in Norfolk to his first tour of duty aboard the U.S.S. Washington, through the early months of war in the Atlantic, to a disagreement over liberty policy leading to the brig, and finally to the Saufley in the Pacific where he remained through the end of the war. With its unusual perspective on history and colorful view of men at war, Tin Can Man is an impressive contribution to WW II literature.

This book is more of a scrapbook than a history. It contains stories and photos covering thirty-five years in the life of one U S Navy warship. These are stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary and mundane things. These stories reveal what was like to be one small cog in the huge machine that was the U S Navy in that period after World War II and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The USS Fiske spent most of her life in the Atlantic but circled the globe twice and was part of the Mediterranean Fleet no less than a dozen times and patrolled the Red Sea more than three times. All in all this is a book telling tales of the people that served on her. Performing the heroic deeds that are part of the daily routines and duties of a life at sea. Hundreds of men - and women - coming from all over the nation to become 'Tin Can' sailors. These are their tales and they should be heard

Bordered by three oceans, Canada's Navy has always needed ships and crew who could brave the harshest of seas to enforce her sovereignty and protect her freedom.The destroyer has been "the very finest ship" for such tasks. Their crews may call them 'tin-cans' but these hardy ships have faced off against U-Boats, Gunboats, Sampans and North Atlantic gales. From Ushant to Inchon, from the frigid Atlantic and wide Pacific to the narrow Gulf, they have sailed and fought and shown the flag.They are the greyhounds of the seas.They are the Tin-Can Canucks.

A sixteen-year old girl runs away from her foster home in Missouri, planning to make a name for herself on the rodeo circuit.

In the words of those who manned her, the destroyer USS Dale’s war comes vividly to life in this first oral history of a combat ship from World War II’s start to finish. From carrier raids on Midway, Guadalcanal, and the Solomons to the bombarding of Saipan and Guam in the capture of the Marianas, from the Aleutians in the far north to strikes on Tokyo and Kobe, Tales from a Tin Can re-creates the action aboard the Dale and conveys as never before the true grit of wartime on a destroyer.

Edward Thatcher's 1919 book provides instructions on how to construct toy trucks, boats, trains, and windmills, as well as trays, candlesticks, and biscuit cutters, all out of used tin cans. Thatcher, an instructor of Decorative Metal Working at Columbia University's Teachers College in New York City, made clever and durable creations using simple tools and an abundant material. His design methods were trial-tested by both 10-12 year olds and wounded World War I soldiers. The book includes over 100 helpful diagrams and black-and-white photographs.

During World War II, James Patric served for two years aboard the destroyer USS George E. Badger. The ship, launched in 1918, was one of several hundred “mothballed” World War I four-pipers. As American involvement in World War II drew closer, most of them were re-activated for service in the US Navy; four-pipers such as the Badger were involved in reporting and tracking ships and aircraft approaching American shores, seizing Axis ships in American ports, occupying Greenland, and relieving the British from the defense of Iceland. The Badger was involved in every stage of the conflict, from pre-war Neutrality Patrol, escorting convoys, anti-submarine warfare (a pioneer hunter/killer), carrying Underwater Demolition Team 8, and pre-invasion (Frogmen) reconnaissance of South Pacific invasion beaches. This memoir weaves together the oral and written memories of James Patric, a Connecticut farmboy who was drafted in early 1943, with those of his shipmates on the Badger, supporting them with documents and historical records. The book records the ship’s role in worldwide conflict and traces the author’s evolution from raw peacetime civilian to veteran wartime sailor. Appendices list the muster rolls of the crew and commissioned officers.

In the 1960’s, Detroit, Michigan had a population of approximately 1.5 million people. Their police force numbered around 5,200 men and women. This is the story of one of the officers that served on that department. He was no super-hero, just a man who loved being a police officer. The time he served spanned the 1967 Detroit Riot, a trying time in that man’s life and the city’s history. This book is based on actual incidents occurring during the 1960’s in Detroit. Names and places have been changed. The book also contains street language and jargon, not intended to offend or alienate the reader, but to depict the reality in the day-to-day life of a police officer.

“This will be a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected. We will do what damage we can.”With these words, Lieutenant Commander Robert W. Copeland addressed the crew of the destroyer escort USS Samuel B. Roberts on the morning of October 25, 1944, off the Philippine Island of Samar. On the horizon loomed the mightiest ships of the Japanese navy, a massive fleet that represented the last hope of a staggering empire. All that stood between it and Douglas MacArthur’s vulnerable invasion force were the Roberts and the other small ships of a tiny American flotilla poised to charge into history.In the tradition of the #1 New York Times bestseller Flags of Our Fathers, James D. Hornfischer paints an unprecedented portrait of the Battle of Samar, a naval engagement unlike any other in U.S. history—and captures with unforgettable intensity the men, the strategies, and the sacrifices that turned certain defeat into a legendary victory.
