The Life of the USS Kitty Hawk (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798856151571)

Donald Yates, a U.S. 20-year military veteran, has released another fine military periodical short read. Yates, the author of over 15 military history pictorials, has released his latest book, The Life of the USS Kitty Hawk. Yates, who earlier published The Life of the USS Midway and The Life of the USS Coral Sea, takes the reader on a decade-by-decade tour of Kitty Hawk's history. The Kitty Hawk was a very busy ship throughout its lifetime. After commissioning in early 1961, Kitty Hawk was thrust into combat and did its duty well during the 24-hour-a-day bombing of North Vietnam. The ship would ultimately earn a Vietnam Service medal with 16 stars, a Sea Service Deployment ribbon with 17 stars, a Navy/Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon with nine stars, and a Presidential Unit Citation. This book will be an excellent addition to any military history buff's library or a fine gift to a veteran sailor who served on the USS Kitty Hawk.
