Four Years in the Donald Duck Navy (Paperback)

This is the true story of a U.S. Navy enlisted man, who served on an amphibious landing craft during the early part of the Cold War, specifically 1951 to 1955. His adventures are detailed, from his time in basic training, to his joining up with his vessel, and a history of the vessel and her service in WWII is included. We then follow him on his various trips on maneuvers. Some of the lighter moments of his time are included, such as when a family in Naples, Italy tried to get our hero married to their oldest daughter so they could come to the States.
