On offer is an interesting group of original World War II era journals and log books [6] related to a small and often overlooked or underrated part of the United States Navy being Sub Chasers, an invaluable group that served to eliminate Germany's U boat threat. Sub chasers were quickly built, usually from wood, usually in small boatyards and launched in great haste at the outset of World War II as German U boats were roaming the Atlantic at will, unopposed, sinking merchant vessels with complete abandon with no regard for neutrality. By the end of WWII over 400 had been built. Their usual duty was escorting convoys and patrolling harbors the sub chasers were also used in other ways.
