These skirmishes were often short but very violent in nature. One of the main purposes of this work is to honor the memory of these men who fought the enemy on such a regular basis.

Over 1700 vessels were assigned to the Coastal Command for duty. Destroyers (DD), Corvettes (COR) and Frigates (FRG) were mostly used to protect convoys. The Sloops (SL), Motor Torpedo boats (MTB, Motor Gun Boats (MGB) along with various minesweepers, minelayers and various tugs conducted a variety of missions designed to restrict coastal operation of their enemies and ensure th
