From Back Cover: Considering the discipline and organization of the U.S. Navy, it would seem the naming of its ships would be orderly, methodical, and straight forward. In fact, the naming of vessels once was as natily shipshape as our ships' crews. Alas! Something went awry. Llew Chadbourne for most of his life was intrigued with U.S. Navy tradition to designate and name ships and boats. As his research expanded, his interest widened. He became compelled and excited to learn how navies all over the world named their fleets. "I Christen Thee..." is a comprehensive, provocative account of his scholarly research, complete with colorful stories and asides. The book is complemented with an exhausted index to please anyone doing research or looking for data on a particular vessel. Also included are more than 24 photographs of vessels. You will receive actual item pictured. Please look at all the photos. What you see is what you get. Will pack well and ship promptly via USPS Media Mail. THANK YOU!
