This remarkable collection of works by some of the world's most distinguished naval historians, draws on formerly classified sources to shed light on the U.S. Navy's role in the three year war fought in the Republic of Korea.

As a whole, the book documents how the Navy’s domination of the seas around Korea enabled allied forces to project combat power ashore the length and breadth of the Korean peninsula. U.S. and allied naval power also discouraged China and the Soviet Union from launching other military adventures in the Far East.

Individual chapters look at the key role of Admirals C.T. Joy, Arthur W. Radford, James H. Doyle, and Arleigh Burke; the Pacific Fleet's rapid deployment of warships to the Korean battle zone at the war's outset that helped save the U.N. command from defeat at the hands of the attacking North Korean army; General Douglas MacArthur's masterful amphibious assault at Inchon; the bombardment of enemy troops by USS Missouri and other fleet battleships, cruisers, and destroyers; and the bombing campaigns against North Korean and Chinese Communist troops, supply depots, bridges, railways, dams, and ports carried out by carrier-based and shore-based naval aviation squadrons.
