1943 - 1947
A great part of naval history. (Most Sailors consider the cruise book one of their most valued treasures)
You
would be purchasing an exact copy of the USS Wisconsin BB 64 cruise book during the World War II era and
shortly after. 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 hundreds of dollars 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. Usually only ONE person in the family has the original
book. The CD makes it possible for other family members to have a copy also. You will not be disappointed we guarantee
it.

- Divisional Group Photos
- Flag and Commanding Officers
