Topic: “THE U.S. NAVY’s FINAL WWII NAVAL BATTLE ~ Fought 
on the Yangtze River in China in 1945 After Japan Surrendered!” 

In this 3rd “Unsung Heroes of WWII” presentation, you’ll get some answers to questions like: 
Did you know that thousands of American sailors fought the Japanese in the middle of China, 
and that the final naval battle of WWII was fought under sail in China after Japan officially surrendered? 
Here’s your chance to find out! This is the strange but true story of a little-known theater of combat, 
the unsung heroes who manned it and fought the final battle of WWII – after the war was over.
