Sellwood, A. V.
Stand By To Die
Paperback
1973, Pinnacle
Condition: very good
Their little ship was outnumbered and outgunned, yet this courageous group of seamen dared to defy a mighty fleet of Japanese warships. H.M.S. Showboat was what naval wits had christened the Li Wo, requisitioned from the Indo China Steam Navigation Company in the days before Pearl Harbor. And even now the nickname seemed to fit. She was a small Yangtze river steamer, manned by a makeshift crew of fugitives. She sailed from war-torn Singapore to do battle with the armed might of a Japanese fleet. It was an epic naval action. Heroism was the order of the day. There were no lean British cruisers to divert the Japanese guns - there were no RAF planes to provide air cover. Just one bullet-riddled tub that wouldn't say die. The story could have been lost forever, had not A.V. Sellwood pieced together the almost unbelievable story of "the most decorated small ship in the navy."
