Abstract
Casco Bay was chosen as the base for Commander Destroyer Force, Atlantic during World War II. How Casco Bay and its islands were used, the number of ships that passed through the port daily, the economic growth it provided for the area, and what some of the building still standing housed are explained. The impact immediately before the United States entered the war, and after the Navy left, particularly on Peaks, Long and Little Diamond Island is featured. [images]
