"Down to the Sea" by Bruce Henderson, is an epic and detailed story of 3 US Naval Destroyers caught in a Western Pacific typhoon during the final months of WWII. The story starts with a detailed description of the attack on Pearl Harbor, then going into the history of each ship sunk in that terrible typhoon; from shipyard to Naval battles, to the final resting place in the Western Pacific. Bruce Henderson has scoured US Naval records, diaries from survivors, letters home and eye witness accounts to bring this story to life. He describes young men and officers of each ship with such fine detail that you can picture each one in your mind. The story not only follows each ship, but describes many Naval battles in the Western and Southern Pacific from Wake Is. to Leyte Gulf, with such memorable hereos as Nimitz, Halsey and Burke. This book is a must for any WWII enthusiast. It is a story of remarkable courage and selfless devotation to duty. You will be caught up in the drama of each doomed ship as it heads to its fateful destiny.
