Product Description

Synopsis
Escort carriers began as conversions from merchant ship hulls, but soon evolved into sophisticated warships. This text examines the US Navy escort carrier "Gambier Bay", a mid-war Casablanca class ship which operated with distinction in the Pacific, before being lost off Samar in 1944.
