History of United States Naval Operations in World War II, Vol. 15: SUPPLEMENT AND GENERAL INDEX (History of United States Naval Operations in World War II)

In this supplementary volume to his splendid history, Samuel Eliot Morison chronicles the postwar operations of the U.S. Navy in the Pacific: the surrender of outlying Japanese garrisons, the occupation of Japan, minesweeping approaches to Japanese ports, and Operation Magic Carpet for the return of armed forces to the United States. This volume features a descriptive list of all named ships of the U.S. Navy during World War II, all types of landing, beaching, and other "lettered" craft, and types of aircraft used by the navy during the war. It also includes a list of errata and a general index to volumes 1-14.
