Hi, look for a book called "BATTLE REPORT; THE ATLANTIC WAR" It was published in 1946 but you can still find it on ebay fairly easily. It covers the Atlantic, the Med and the cross channel operations. It has a pretty complete list of ships and many awards to USN types in those theaters. The book was written by Walter Karig et al. Hope this helps, Mark
