This review is from: The Lane Victory : The Last Victory Ship in War and in Peace (Hardcover)
Excellent book. It just about tells you everything you need to know about the Lane Victory. Packed with photos, operational history and usefull info. The only thing I can think of that I would have liked better was the description of how they got her operational again in the 1990's. I was hoping for a little more information on how they got the Main Engines and equipment running. Beggers can't be choosers but for the price that would have made it 5 stars. All in all a valuable reference.
