A close-up, action-filled account of the crucial role the U.S. Navy played in the early years of the Cold War, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Fleet at Flood Tide and The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors

“A lucid, fast-moving and fitting finale to [Hornfischer’s] career.”—The Wall Street Journal

A landmark chronicle of the U.S. Navy in the Cold War, Who Can Hold the Sea combines narrative history with scenes of stirring adventure on—and under—the high seas. In 1945, at the end of World War II, the victorious Navy sends its sailors home and decommissions most of its warships. But this peaceful interlude is short-lived, as Stalin, America’s former ally, makes aggressive moves in Europe and the Far East. Winston Churchill crystallizes the growing Communist threat by declaring the existence of “the Iron Curtain,” and the Truman Doctrine is set up to contain Communism by establishing U.S. military bases throughout the world.

Set against this background of increasing Cold War hostility, Who Can Hold the Sea paints the dramatic rise of the Navy’s crucial postwar role in a series of exciting episodes that include the controversial tests of the A-bombs that were dropped on warships at Bikini Island; the invention of sonar and the developing science of undersea warfare; the Navy’s leading part in key battles of the Korean War; the dramatic sinking of the submarine USS Cochino in the Norwegian Sea; the invention of the nuclear submarine and the dangerous, first-ever cruise of the USS Nautilus under the North Pole; and the growth of the modern Navy with technological breakthroughs such as massive aircraft carriers, and cruisers fitted with surface-to-air missiles.

As in all of Hornfischer’s works, the events unfold in riveting detail. The story of the Cold War at sea is ultimately the story of America’s victorious contest to protect the free world.

Sublimation tape that works.
Number of Items: 2
Very strong and sticky tape. Great to use for sublimation on tumblers. No residual left on tumblers. Holds amazing. Stretch is just enough to help you get things nice and tight.

Nice to know you have full protection
After a sever thunderstorm took out my cable modem, It was nice to be assured I had replacement coverage for it. Filing the claim was effortless and the process to return the item was no issue at all. My only concern is that the cable modem is a CRITICAL piece of equipment for any individual or business. A sense of urgency on the behalf of Asurion to recognize this and expedite the replacement process would have been appreciated. No technician repairs these modems. Always cheaper to replace, especially one that the failure was attributed to an electrical storm.

Will always get the warranty
Easy to do, they could not fix it and refunded my money via an amazon gift card.

Asurion is a good investment
Bought an expensive gaming router 46 months ago. Just stopped working, had 2 months left on my insurance, they couldn't fix it and gave me a refund. Bought a similar router with another 4 years if insurance with Asurion and I couldn't be happier. All this in 1 weeks time. They are great

Surprisingly great service!
Surprisingly great service. I just didn’t expect my claim to be handled so efficiently. Replaced the purchase price of my printer that was 3 years into a 4 year protection plan.
