Description

Foreword

This so-called War Diary is an honest attempt to record a brief chapter in the young life of a gallant ship.

No effort has been made to glamourize her deeds; no claim has been made that she fought the war single-handed; no single incident or group has been intentionally emphasized or omitted.

The Monty was a workhorse from the Solomons, through the Marianas, the Philippines, the Nansei Shoto, and into Japan proper -- for thirty-six long months she successfully fulfilled her missions.

So for posterity we preserve herewith her experiences, as seen from her decks and from her spotting planes.
