My son who lives in Seattle obtained the subject book for me. If my ship had been off the coast of Australia just three weeks earlier we would have been torpedoed instead of the SS Peter Silvester by Uboat 862 I'm sure. An interesting book which lists many of the US ships carrying Armed-Guard in WW2. Bob Taylor

The author made an error in stating that a plane from HMS Activity spotted the boat that carried survivors from SS Peter Silvester. At that time the Activity was no longer an aircraft carrier but had changed its role to being a transport vessel. Bob Taylor
