The U.S. Navy Armed Guard was a branch of the United States Navy that defended U.S. and Allied merchant ships from attacks from enemy ships, airplanes and submarines. Mainly gunners, radio operators and signal operators, these men served on merchant tankers, troop carriers and other merchant ships. The Armed Guard was disband after the end of WWII. It has become the forgotten service, but the Armed Guard was critical to the outcome of WWII.
