{"product_id":"the-life-of-the-uss-kitty-hawk-9798856151571","title":"The Life of the USS Kitty Hawk","description":"Donald Yates, a U.S. 20-year military veteran, has released another fine military periodical short read. Yates, the author of over 15 military history pictorials, has released his latest book, \u003ci\u003eThe Life of the USS Kitty Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e. Yates, who earlier published \u003ci\u003eThe Life of the USS Midway \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Life of the USS Coral Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, takes the reader on a decade-by-decade tour of Kitty Hawk's history. The \u003ci\u003eKitty Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e was a very busy ship throughout its lifetime. After commissioning in early 1961, \u003ci\u003eKitty Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e was thrust into combat and did its duty well during the 24-hour-a-day bombing of North Vietnam. The ship would ultimately earn a Vietnam Service medal with 16 stars, a Sea Service Deployment ribbon with 17 stars, a Navy\/Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon with nine stars, and a Presidential Unit Citation. This book will be an excellent addition to any military history buff's library or a fine gift to a veteran sailor who served on the \u003ci\u003eUSS Kitty Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-754976\"\u003eDonald Yates\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798856151571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 885615157X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027070\"\u003eWars \u0026amp; Conflicts | Vietnam War\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44689889984749,"sku":"9798856151571","price":27.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_76645dbf-2824-4ee5-a691-9a827d18cba6.jpg?v=1703698021","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-life-of-the-uss-kitty-hawk-9798856151571","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
