The book is an excellent read. It is SO cool that James Michener in is the movie too! The movie might have been 1954's "The Men of the Fighting Lady" oops!
Excellent finish Al!

I hadn't but that actually looks pretty cool! It's something that will have to wait a while though. I want to do the Saratoga and the Enterprise one right after the other and I'm also eyeing Atlantis's old USS Ticonderoga with the angled flight deck.
