This listing includes the 1955 & 1957 WESTPAC cruise books for the Essex Class aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea. Both books are in excellent used condition. The spines are tight with no lose or damaged pages. Both books are crisp and clean and display nicely. Also included is a large – 6 diameter – cut edge moral patch that dates to 1957. Both books were printed by Toppan printing in Tokyo, Japan. A great grouping for anyone interested in US Navy history. Check my feedback – you will be pleased.

[MILITARY SERVICE, US NAVY, AIRCRAFT CARRIER]. The 1967 yearbook / cruise book for the USS Kitty Hawk Aircraft Carrier. Also includes all the laid in photos & booklets shown. The book is in very good condition. USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), formerly CVA-63, is a decommissioned United States Navy supercarrier. Kitty Hawk was both the first of the three Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers to be commissioned and last to be decommissioned. Kitty Hawk was laid down by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, Camden, New Jersey, on 27 December 1956. McElroy, wife of Defense Secretary Neil H. Kitty Hawk was launched by flooding her drydock; the conventional slide down method was ruled out because of her mass and the risk that she might hit the Philadelphia shore on the far side of the Delaware River. For 10 years, Kitty Hawk was the forward-deployed carrier at Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan. In October 2008, she was replaced in this role by George Washington. She was officially decommissioned on 12 May 2009 after almost 49 years of service. Kitty Hawk was replaced by George H. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 20 October 2017, and will be dismantled.

Please see the photos for more description.
