Publisher's summary

A ship comes to life when her crew boards her, lights off her boilers, turns on her generators and her electronics, and then pretties her up and takes her to sea. This story follows the amphibious flagship USS Eldorado AGC-11, aging veteran of Iwo Jima and Inchon in 1967 as she faces a new kind of war in Vietnam. The book tells of life on a US Navy ship through the eyes of her crew.

But it goes deeper; by telling a poignant tale linking a man who helped weld her steel plates and later died at Normandy and his son who served on her in the Vietnam combat zone. In so doing, the story reaches into the very meaning of life.

SWOs will enjoy this book.

It’s been more than 25 years since I conned a ship. This book brought back lots of memories. If you wonder what life is like on a navy ship this book describes it very well. The narration was excellent. I listened in the evening as I lay in bed falling asleep and enjoyed the reader’s smooth voice and the detailed story.

This is a review copy I received. The chacthers truly gave the culture shift the military felt during Vietnam has the chacthers also expressed that times view on outer people from rank to skin color. Do I also didn't really side with any chacther they felt like a dream that slept away and start away new with someone else.
