Four Powerful Volumes That Chart a Navy at Peace, at War, and in Victory

For anyone fascinated by U.S. naval history, this boxed 4-book set by James C. Fahey offers an extraordinary look into the evolution of the American fleet before, during, and after WWII.

Originally published in a time of immense national upheaval and sacrifice, these editions have become essential historical documents—reissued in this collectible 1985 set by the Naval Institute Press.

The 1939 Edition offers a sobering portrait of a peacetime Navy—complete with ships that would soon face battle, some never to return. The Two-Ocean Fleet and War Editions reflect the vast scale and transformation of the fleet during wartime mobilization.

And the Victory Edition rounds out the set, listing final wartime losses with respectful detail and precision. Fahey’s accounts may contain a few optimistic overstatements, but they’re part of what makes these volumes feel so real and of their time.

Together, these volumes don’t just list ships and planes—they capture a moment in history where the sea played a pivotal role in shaping the 20th century.
