My last book was "Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailor", concerning the Battle off Samar and TAFFY-3. "No Higher Honor" looks like another MUST READ! I am also looking to replace my lost copy of "Storm Center" concerning USS Vincennes and Iran Air flight 655. When USS Halsey transited the Hormuz Strait on Christmas day 1991, we met with and passed Port to Port about 200 yds from the Sabalan. it was the first up close and personal look we have had of the Sabalan since we put a bomb down her stack back in '88.
