"The brilliant and heroic record achieved by Destroyer Squadron Twenty-Three is a distinctive tribute to the valiant fighting spirit of the individual units in this indomitable combat group and of each skilled and courageous ship's company." -- Presidential Unit Citation Captain Arleigh Burke assumed control over Destroyer Squadron 23 on 23 October 1943. Just over a month later they engaged five enemy destroyers and sunk three of them and received no damage themselves in what has been described by tacticians as "near perfect surface actions". Over the course of the next four months Destroyer Squadron 23, which was nicknamed "The Little Beavers, would continue in the same vein and engage with enemy ships a further twenty-two times, destroying one Japanese cruiser, nine destroyers, one submarine, several smaller ships, and approximately 30 aircraft. "The Captains of Squadron 23 went out looking for trouble; they found it; they sank it; and then they looked for more. When a ship became lost, as some did, she simply headed for the enemy and continued to fight by herself. It is impossible for me to express the proud, paternal feeling I felt for you all during the heat of battle. There are many officers in the United States Navy who probably would have done as well had the opportunity been granted them. There are NO officers in the United States Navy who could have done better." -- Captain Arleigh Burke Ken Jones' account of this brilliant squadron takes the reader to the heart of the action as he uncovers Arleigh's tactics and the strategies that were deployed to defeat Japanese ships. He also uncovers what life was like for the men in the squadron as they powered across Pacific Ocean. "While the period covered by this book is relatively short, it was a crucial period in the Pacific War, and the vital part played by Destroyer Squadron 23 under the inspiring leadership of Arleigh Burke was, in a sense, only a beginning, but the vital beginning, of a steady drive forward which gained momentum and power until United States naval forces steamed victoriously into Tokyo Bay." -- Fleet Admiral William Halsey Ken Jones wrote a number of works on World War Two, including the biography Admiral Arleigh. His book Destroyer Squadron 23 was first published in 1959.

The story of my service in WWII. It describes the war environment in the US, my training and service in Destroyer Squadron 23, the battles at sea in the Pacific, my marriage during the war, my return home near the end of the war and finally my service in the Naval Reserve after discharge from active Navy duty. I have recounted numerous experiences that convey the sense and deep feelings of those of us who served during those difficult and glorious four years when so many were called to serve and many died defending our country.
