Greyhounds of the Pacific is a comprehensive historical overview of American destroyer operations in the Pacific during World War II. While destroyers initially served in convoy protection roles in the Atlantic, their function in the Pacific shifted as they became independent forces that played a vital part in the war’s outcome. This book examines their transformation from prewar support ships to key players in the Pacific theater, highlighting their adaptability and contributions.

Throughout the early years of World War II, U.S. Navy destroyers played a central role in the Battle of the Atlantic. Assigned to convoy escort, antisubmarine patrols, and fleet screening, they operated across wide ocean areas in prolonged contests against German U-boats. As naval operations expanded into the Pacific, destroyers were reassigned to a theater defined by carrier warfare, amphibious landings, and sustained air attacks. There, success depended on different tactical priorities, including anti-aircraft defense, surface action in confined waters, and close coordination with larger fleet formations.
