Twenty-three minutes to eternity

"The loss of the USS Liscome Bay came on her first combat operation: the American invasion of the Gilbert Islands. Despite her short career, she touched a number of remarkable and famous lives." "James Noles's account of the Liscome Bay and those who served aboard her is based on interviews with the ship's survivors and an unpublished memoir that the ship's pay officer made available to the author. This book pays homage to the crew by telling their story of experience and sacrifice."--Jacket.
