Destroyermen

The Destroyermen series is a series of alternate history books, written by American writer and historian Taylor Anderson. The eleven books in the series so far are Into The Storm, Crusade, Maelstrom, Distant Thunders, Rising Tides, Firestorm, Iron Gray Sea, Storm Surge, Deadly Shores, Straits of Hell, and Blood in the Water.

The books chronicle the adventures of the crews of the destroyer and the Japanese battlecruiser Amagi, in the early stages of the War in the Pacific during World War II, being transported to an alternate Earth. This Earth is relatively the same geographically as the one they left, but evolution took a different turn eons ago.
