Aboard the Farragut Class Destroyers in World War II: A History with First-Person Accounts of Enlisted Men (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780786442225)

This book describes the life of the enlisted men aboard a Farragut class destroyer during the pre-World War II years; the war preparation period in 1941; and the wartime years. It features first-person narrations collected from interviews and correspondence with the few remaining Farragut class destroyer sailors, and briefly describes the evolution of the destroyer and the Farragut class destroyers, five of which survived the war.
