It covers in detail Sherman's pre-deployment workups, transit to the Persian Gulf, Persian Gulf operations, and return transit. Through the use of Sherman's actual ships logs, Navy command history reports, other documents, photographs, and personal accounts, the author compiles a comprehensive narrative of Sherman's deployment covering major events such as law enforcement operations in the Persian Gulf, the sinking of the M\/V Zainab, and the rescue of the M\/V Modern Drive. This event is historic within the Coast Guard community because Sherman is only the third Coast Guard cutter to circumnavigate the globe in modern times and the first since 1969. And out of the three vessels to accomplish this amazing journey she is the only one that was not an icebreaker. This updated version now includes Sherman's logs. Note: The Kindle eBook edition has color photographs and the print paperback has black \u0026amp; white photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Leo Jr. Semler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692623663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692623664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward L.
