| The SC class ships were the smallest warships in the US Navy. And they were tasked with some of the most dangerous missions in the war, from convoy escort duty to the deployment, resupply, and rescuing of coast watchers in islands deep behind Japanese lines. The SC-761 fought in the bloody campaign to capture Guadalcanal and sailed repeatedly up and down the deadly Ironbottom Sound, chasing submarines and performing vital service by rescuing downed airmen and aiding the coast watchers who gathered intelligence. It is an incredible story of one of America's most gallant and unsung ships. |
