The United States Navy in World War II
On December 7, 1941, with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Navy, and the United States as a whole, was drawn into the hostilities of the Second World War. Throughout the conflict, the combined fleets of the U.S. Navy saw service in waters across the globe, ensuring victories in the South Pacific, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and the Aleutian Islands, as well as defending the homeland and vital shipping routes. By the time the Empire of Japan surrendered nearly four years after Pearl Harbor, over 700 U.S. Navy vessels had been sunk or damaged beyond repair and 36,950 officers, enlisted men, and officer candidates were lost to enemy action.

In the European/Atlantic Theatre, the reports cover operations supporting the Allied invasion of Sicily (Operation Husky), Allied landings at Salerno (Operation Avalanche), Allied landings at Anzio (Operation Shingle), the Allied invasion of Normandy (Operation Neptune), and the Allied invasion of Southern France (Operation Anvil and Operation Dragoon). The collection also includes reports pertaining to actions off North Africa, and in the North Atlantic.
