About This Item
New York: MacMillian Publishing, 1986. Hard Cover. Fine in Good jacket Welcome aboard the USS John F. Kennedy...The most sophisticated weapon on the face of the earth. Home to more than 5, 000 men, the aircraft carrier is more than a ship. It's a floating city, a fortress, an airport, a naval installation, and a matchless model of military efficiency. Now, Washington Post defense correspondent George C. Wilson takes you aboard the pride of America's navy for a full tour of duty. He writes of the men, from the boiler tenders to the captain, to the Top Guns who fly the ship's squadron of F-14s. From the hazards and boredom of day-to-day duty to actual combat conditions off the coast of Lebanon, Wilson shows how the $3½ billion vessel functions and its vital role in America's response to global hot spots. First edition, 273 pages includes index. Jacket has a few small tears around the edges.
