| Mike Ray (VS-35 1964-1967) has written a great book about what it was like to fly the S2. He starts with his experience in Pensacola as an AOC, and takes it all the way to VS-35. Hard Cover and CD versions. | |

Stoof Cruise Book |
Mike Ray also has a book covering his experiences during a Far East cruise aboard the USS Hornet (CVS-12) in 1965. Great way to re-live a Westpac cruise without all the sweat and lost sleep. This book is guaranteed to help you remember the thrills, satisfactions, pride, frustrations, scares, camaraderie, and bureaucracy. Out of Print, but check with Mike Ray if you want one. |
