Nice little book about the battle damage suffered by the Helena which led to her sinking. Includes ship history and design and the official reports of the CO and the Navy. It's a shame that it appears that there is no "Battle Damage Report No. 2" or further titles.

I can’t help but contrast the leadership of the Skipper, Captain Sanders with that of the Ben Franklin, as I read the books back to back. A wonderful book, highly recommended.… (meer)
