Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. at the Paisley County Library Bob Gandt will talk about his book Intrepid.
The USS Intrepid is a 27,000-ton Essex-class aircraft carrier that has sailed into harm’s way around the globe. At Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history, she sank Japanese warships and endured kamikaze and torpedo attacks. She fought at Okinawa, surviving to be the recovery ship for America’s first astronauts and later returing to action in Vietnam.
