Bloomington, IN: Xlibris LLC, 2014. Revised Edition, presumed First printing thus. Hardcover. 80 pages. Illustrations. Map. Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. Rare. Foreword by Arleigh Burke (dated 1993). Includes Illustrations, Introduction, Bibliographical Note, and About the Author. This book focusses on three American naval vessels, all named Chester. The first was an armed galley, which fought during the American Revolution, as part of the Continental Navy. The second Chester was a light cruiser, which did not emerge until just before World War 1. Its crews served during that war, during the submarine warfare engaged in with German U-boats. The third USS Chester, also a light cruiser, was commissioned in 1930. By 1941, the United States was in a quasi-war with Germany on the Atlantic Ocean, and Americans in Asia were threatened by Japanese occupation. The USS Chester steamed into Pearl Harbor naval base in the early afternoon of December 7, 1941, missing the brunt of the early morning Japanese bombings, due to delays caused by a storm at sea. From that day on, Chester was active in nearly every major engagement in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Legendary officers like William Halsey commanded Chester's units, and Adm. Arleigh Burke served on Chester. Chester (CA-27) received 11 battle stars for World War II service. The Chester was placed out of commission in reserve in Philadelphia on 10 June 1946. She was sold for scrap on 11 August 1959. More
