A great part of Naval history.
You would be purchasing an exact copy of the cruise book for both Navy Fleet Post
Offices in San Francisco and New York during World War II. Each page has been placed on a CD for years of enjoyable
computer viewing. The CD comes in a plastic sleeve with a custom label. Every page has been enhanced and
is readable. Rare cruise books like this sell for a hundred dollars or more when buying the actual hard copy
if you can find one for sale.
This would make a great gift for yourself or someone you know who may have served aboard her.
