PT boats really did attack Japanse destroyers, and it was not a rare event in that campaign, and a PT sunk I-3.
The frustrations of the Allied navies in the early days of that campaign are high-lighted and the book also shows how the introduction of SG RADAR negated many of the Japanese surface combat advantages.
The book also gives a guided tour throughout the American DD Maury, and describes the function of every shipboard department and crew position.
Just a fascinating read for this old dogface.
The book is published by Naval Institute Press ISBN 978-159114143-3
