As Japan commenced hostilities on the United States, submarine S-39 was anchored in the Philipine harbor of Masabate. Although she was 16 years old, her crew managed to sink two enemy ships during their tour of duty then slip through the Sunda Strait to a temporary haven in Australia before sailing to further action in the Solomon Islands. The author has used navy records, letters, journals and interviews from the crew and their families to create a picture of American service life before and during World War II.

A Russian language (Cyrillic text) volume describing the Battle of Navarino which was fought on 20 October, 1827, during the Greek War of Independence in Navarino Bay in the Ionian Sea. An Ottoman and Egyptian armada was destroyed by a combined British, French and Russian naval force. It is notable for being the last major naval battle in history fought entirely with sailing ships. The Allied ships were better armed than their opponents, and their crews were better trained, contributing to a complete victory. A loose insert provides English translations of the picture captions and tables by Craig Martelle.
