World War Ii Battleship

"Heroes Of War Collection: Navy Battles" contains the following titles: "The Frogmen"; "Sink The Bismark"; "Morituri" and "The Enemy Below" "The Frogmen" - In this thrilling WWII adventure, a new commanding officer is sent to tighten the discipline of a group of Navy underwater demolition experts, a.k.a. frogmen. Replacing a popular officer whom the men idolized, the new commander at first wins few friends with his strict style. He finally proves himself by risking his own life to disarm a live torpedo, and then helps the men prepare for a critical, but dangerous mission - sabotaging a Japanese submarine base. "Sink The Bismark" - In the spring of 1941, England is the only undefeated European nation who can stand up against Germany. And when the world's most powerful battleship, Germany's "Bismark", heads for the North Atlantic, Churchill gives the order to sink it at any cost! Featuring actual combat footage, this pulse-pounding film puts you on the front lines of one of the most crucial naval engagements of World War II! "Morituri" - In this World War II espionage drama, Marlon Brando stars as Robert Crain, a German deserted coerced by a British Intelligence officer (Trevor Howard) to impersonate a Gestapo officer in order to seize a German blockade runner. Crain's mission is an almost-certain death sentence: if he's discovered, he'll be slain. But if the British capture the ship, its captain (Yul Brynner) will destroy it! "The Enemy Below" - Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens star in this absorbing World War II drama about an American destroyer and a German U-boat stalking each other at sea. As the captains try to outmaneuver each other, it becomes clear that any mistake can bring instant defeat. Winner of the 1957 Best Special Effects Oscar, "The Enemy Below" also marked the directorial debut of actor Dick Powell.

Fifty years after the end of World War II comes the first complete history of the USS Missouri, site of the Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945. This book traces the story of the Missouri - the last of the U.S. Navy's fifty-seven battleships and the most technically advanced - from her keel-laying in 1941 through the ship's successful participation in the Persian Gulf War in 1991. Author Paul Stillwell was on the Missouri's final voyage to Hawaii, shortly before her decommissioning in 1992, and interviewed "Desert Storm" veterans still on board. Subsequently, he talked to dozens of other men who served on the Missouri's crew during her long and illustrious history. Combining those interviews - more than 100 altogether - with records in the Naval Historical Center, National Archives, Harry S. Truman Library, and other repositories, Stillwell has produced an engrossing portrait of the ship and her crew. Readers have a sense of being right on board as history was being made in World War II. They are also treated to an up-close view of the 1946 trip to the Mediterranean that planted the seed for the Sixth Fleet, President Truman's involvement with the ship, the Korean War, midshipman cruises, the warship's modernization in the 1980s after a long period in mothballs, an around-the-world cruise, and finally, her presence in the Persian Gulf. Among the many fascinating stories to be found here is the tale of a midshipman who gained a personal audience with Winston Churchill during a 1949 cruise to England, a crew member's description of winning a million-dollar state lottery, an account of President Truman's lifting the ban on drinking so he could enjoy his bourbon while visiting theMissouri, an explanation of why the ship just missed participating in the invasion of Inchon, Korea, and a Japanese participant's reaction to General Douglas MacArthur's speech at the surrender ceremony.
