Book on this ship edit

Commander Kenneth McCracken, USNR, was the navigation officer for this carrier. In 1944, he wrote a book about his service aboard her, titled "Baby Flat-Top." However, the book is not a history of the ship and the actions it was in. Instead it is a mostly humorous account of life aboard the carrier. In the 1944 edition---due to wartime security---neither the name of the carrier, the actions it was in or the name of anyone aboard is mentioned. However, a spiral-bound, post-war edition names his ship as the USS Nassau. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 19:23, 30 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
