Highly secret at the time, their activities remain little known even today, although their contributions to the war in the Pacific were significant. The book details the force’s actions, from the first boat’s arrival in the dark days of April 1942, to the base’s closure three years later. Drawing on the personal experiences of individual sailors, it describes heroic encounters with the enemy, clandestine special missions, plus training and R \u0026amp; R, and records the professional cooperation and  personal friendships between Australians and Americans.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67668527087915,"sku":"13821","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/u-s-subs-down-under-brisbane-1942-1945","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
