The background for pages is "Tidepool" and represents where water meets the land. I thought it was appropriate.

COMBAT LOADED - by Tom Crew - the definitive representative history of the APA and AKA classes of ships.

It is a carefully researched, well documented history of the ship and the men who served on her.  Tom interviewed over 60 men from the Tate and did unbelievable research.  The book is not only full of information, it is extremely well written.  The narratives are priceless.  Some of them had me laughing my a$$ off, other brought tears to my eyes.  I also had a lot of "OH WOW" moments when it cleared up things that I had pondered, but not found the answer to before. What separates this book from all others is the combination of documentation AND readability. These two things are not often found in the same book.  

I will be shamelessly pushing this book, because it is a MUST read or anyone wanting to know what life was like on the APA and AKA's in WWII.
