One naval historian called them 'The Forgotten Fleet'. So that the world will not forget them, the author, a former PC sailor wrote this book. He tells the story of PCs in World War I and draws from his and his shipmates' experiences and memories. He uses old photos and drawings and from them describes what life was like for 65 men crowded aboard these small ships. He portrays the fearful times when tossed and torn by raging seas. He recounts the terrifying battles against submarines and kamikazes and when leading landing craft to the invasion beaches.
