No Higher Honor: Saving the USS Samuel B. Roberts in the Persian Gulf

Couverture
Naval Institute Press, 2006 - 275 pages
"The USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG 58) was a small warship built for escort duty much like its namesake vessel, one of the "tin can" heroes of Leyte Gulf. But its commanding officer imbued his brand-new crew with their forebears' fighting spirit, and when the guided missile frigate was thrust into the Persian Gulf at the height of the Iran-Iraq War, there was no better ship for the job." "Journalist Bradley Peniston draws on hundreds of documents and interviews to present the first book about the Roberts heroic actions."--BOOK JACKET.
