Daniel relaxing in the captain's chair
aboard USS Dwight D.
Eisenhower, CV-69 while the nuclear powered aircraft carrier

The author exploring another famous
submersible, the 'Turtle'

One of the small fire trucks used
aboard USS Dwight D

The author standing on an AIR-2

was just one of the nuclear weapons
available to the Canadian military during the Cold War.
The bridge of HMCS St. John's
FFH-340 is a fine reflection

for peak efficiency
