This is a memoir about a U.S. Navy veteran’s experiences during his tour of duty aboard the mighty and fabled U.S.S. YORKTOWN (CVS-10) in the early 1960's. The history of the ship and its various operations with the First Fleet in the West Coast of North America and the Seventh Fleet in Asia, including the South China Sea and Vietnam, are presented in chronological order. Operational and travel adventures of the officers and crew are interwoven with historical perspectives and stories of young sailors entrusted with demanding duties and responsibilities, along with high-level expectations at sea, in peace time and in war operations. The author concludes with his personal assessments on having served in, as President John F. Kennedy once proclaimed, The Greatest Navy in The World, including his experiences and observations upon coming home from Vietnam to a divided and “not-so-grateful” nation towards its veterans. Insights to an almost-forgotten war that brought discord and conflict to our country at home and abroad are also mentioned. Both non-veterans and veterans and their family members, upon reading this book, could gain new perspectives and share a common understanding about U.S. Navy history and the proud men and women who serve their country.

I was on "The Fighting Lady" although we had a different name for it...one which I shall not divulge. It WAS an experience and I have fond and not so fold memories about my time on it. It now sits in Charleston Harbor as its final resting place and has been converted to a museum like so many other battle wagons. She has history as does its namesake and those that sailed on her should want this book in their library.Product details

PACIFIC HORIZONS Life Aboard "The Fighting Lady" Mr Martin G Bravo 9780578160238 Books Reviews
Martin Bravo writes of his experiences on the USS Yorktown with the same patriotism and enthusiasm he had as a young sailor embarking on an adventure of a lifetime.
Too self centered
As former Yorktown sailor, this book brought back fond memories. Good read.
A really nice combination of history, geography and humanity. Whether you're connected to the military or not, there's something in this young sailor's memoirs for everyone. An easy, interesting and fun read.
“Pacific Horizons” is a vivid and authentic account of the author’s experiences in the US Navy spanning the beginning of the war in Viet Nam. This is a collection of “sea stories”, but with only slight embellishment. I know because I was there as Martin’s shipmate and good friend. It is a very good read. Jim Barkley, Trident Trading Co.
