Gimme the Boats is a 1953 novel by Australian author J. E. Macdonnell. It was called the first novel of the Royal Australian Navy.
The book was a best seller in Australia. It was serialised in 1953.
The Herald said "The book is racy, hard hitting, spectacular, like destroyers. Mr Macdonnell... has a flair for vivid narrative and the apt phrase."
The Sydney Morning Herald wrote "If the reader feels at times that the author contrives events to heighten the drama and action of his story, there is no question at all that Mr. Macdonnell knows his navy in intimate detail and can unravel a vivid narrative."
