Fightin'est Ship in WWII Books in Order

The crew and pilots of USS Enterprise prepare for war as Japan’s fleet moves toward Pearl Harbor. Their experiences place them at the opening of the Pacific conflict, where an unexpected attack transforms everyday naval service into combat.

Enterprise supports the Doolittle Raid before turning toward a greater confrontation at Midway. With intelligence hinting at Japanese plans, American carrier crews race to intercept Yamamoto’s fleet and challenge its numerical advantage in the Pacific.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, America’s battered fleet struggles to recover while Enterprise takes the fight to Japanese outposts. Her sailors and pilots face early carrier operations as the United States seeks a way to strike back.

After Midway, Enterprise and Saratoga provide vital carrier protection for the Marines landing on Guadalcanal. As Japanese forces gather to contest the invasion, the ships and their aircrews must defend an exposed American foothold.

Enterprise needs repairs at Pearl Harbor, but the battle for Guadalcanal demands her return. With Hornet providing the only other available American carrier, her crew faces a Japanese force preparing to attack with four carriers and overwhelming support.
