The book traces Tennessee’s dramatic wartime career from the Aleutians and the bloody amphibious fights at Tarawa (1943) through the 1944 island‑hopping campaign (including Surigao Strait, the last battleship‑versus‑battleship action) to the assault on Iwo Jima in 1945, using exclusive eyewitness accounts from crew members to deliver a vivid, shipboard perspective on damage, repair, and naval combat operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClifton Simmons’ USS Tennessee in World War II is published by Squadron\/Signal Publications as part of the Squadron Signal Specials series (No. 6094; ISBN 9780897475501) and is presented as an illustrated, single‑ship monograph and reference for military historians and battleship enthusiasts.
