1-227232

Volume 2 follows the light carriers and their crews from the Korean War into the modern era. Following the Korean War, Australia acquired two additional former Royal Navy light fleet carriers and Canada three as centerpieces for their naval fixed air programs. Former CVLs served in new roles during the Cold War/Vietnam War: USS Wright as a 'doomsday' afloat White House, HMAS Sydney as a troop transport, and USS Arlington as a communications link between the Pentagon and commanders in the field.

Includes 155 photographs, maps, and diagrams; appendices; and an index to full names, places, and subjects.
