Inhalt:

""United States Submarine Chasers: In The Mediterranean, Adriatic And The Attack On Durazzo (1920)"" is a historical account of the role played by American submarine chasers during World War I in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. Written by Hilary Ranald Chambers Jr., the book provides a detailed description of the operations carried out by these small but efficient vessels, which were used for anti-submarine warfare, escort duties, and mine sweeping.The book covers the period from the entry of the United States into the war in 1917 until the end of hostilities in 1918. It describes the challenges faced by the American submarine chasers, including the harsh weather conditions, the threat of enemy submarines, and the difficulties of maintaining the vessels in a hostile environment.One of the highlights of the book is the account of the attack on Durazzo, a strategic port in Albania, which was carried out by a joint British, French, and Italian force in October 1918. The American submarine chasers played a crucial role in the operation, providing intelligence and support to the attacking force.Overall, ""United States Submarine Chasers: In The Mediterranean, Adriatic And The Attack On Durazzo (1920)"" is an engaging and informative book that sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of World War I naval history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, naval warfare, or the role played by the United States in World War I.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
