We begin with the Losers in "Pooch: The Winner" by Robert Kanigher and John Severin. After inking the last issue, Severin takes over the art chores for the Losers, his first regular series assignment at DC. He will remain on the strip for the next three years. When Sarge and Gunner are in London they run into a K-9 combat dog who had helped them, before they had joined up with the Losers, against the Japanese on a Pacific island. Sarge and Gunner worry that the Losers' bad luck would rub off on Pooch and get him killed, so they leave the disappointed animal with his handler in London. Reprinted in Showcase Presents: The Losers Vol. 1 TPB (2012).
Next up is "The Invincible Armada" by Robert Kanigher and Ric Estrada.
We end this issue with the U.S.S. Stevens in "Cabbages and Kings" by Sam Glanzman.
