Today we think of the Great Lakes as a calm and tranquil haven.  Fierce storms may occasionally roar across the waters but they are a rare occurrence, the aberration of natural violence rather than that of man.

However during World War II the Great Lakes were a boiling cauldron of naval activity, most long forgotten by the public.  With the passing of the Greatest Generation, memory is lost, leaving up to historians to tell the true story of this remarkable period.
