From Foreword to the Reprinted Edition: World War II was the text of fire that forged the modern Coast Guard. From the very beginning, Coast Guardsmen participated in almost every phase of the maritime war. The cutter Northland made the first naval capture in September 1941 when it intercepted a group of German radio operators off Greenland. The service's first combat death occurred on board the transport Leonard Wood when the ship was attacked by Japanese planes at Singapore the day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Coast Guardsmen were in every major amphibious assualt of the war. At the Normandy invasion Coast Guardsmen not only landed thousands of men on the beach, they rescued 1,500 who were stranded in the surf. In the Pacific, First Class Signalman Douglas Munro posthumously won a Congressional MEdal of Honor at Guadalcanal when he helped rescue three companies of Marines who were trapped on the beach. At sea, Coast Guard manned vessels and aircraft sank eleven U-boats during the Battle of the North Atlantic. Most of these victories came early in the war when the campaign against the wolf packs was still in doubt. On shore, Coast Guard men and women performed numerous less publicized but no less vital tasks. Thousands of merchant ships that had been hurriedly built for the war effort needed inspection. Mercant marines needed training and certification. Our coasts needed to be patrolled. In fact, a Coast Guard's story during World War I. Fortunately for the service, Malcolm Willoughby has done just that. The book was originally published in 1957. Although it has long been out of print, the demand for this work earns it the right to be called a classic. I thank the Naval Institute Press for helping us to launch our bicentennial celebration once again making this fine book avaiable to the American public.
