Description: This is a rare and original deployment cruise book of USS MISSOURI BB-63, which chronicles the ship's journey from 1987-88. The book features a detailed log of the ship's course, along with stunning photographs of the ship and its crew. It is a must-have for collectors of militaria and fans of naval history.The book is in great shape and has not been modified in any way. It was manufactured in the United States and is an original piece. The book is a great addition to any collection and is sure to be a conversation starter. This Cruise Book is from a seller who was also ship's company at Recommissioning through the Round-the-World 'Shakedown Cruise,' and the 1987-88 deployment to the Persian Gulf in support of Ernest Will operations - the re-flagging of Kuwaiti oil tankers along with our little pal, USS Bunker Hill, AAW shotgun - the two of us were the 'covering force' for the convoys of tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. This copy of the Cruise Book was my World War II veteran father's who rode the ship home from Pearl Harbor, making the "Tiger Cruise." The book returned to me after his passing. It is in excellent condition. I ship to US addresses only.
