The Mighty Moo: the USS Cowpens and her epic World War II journey from jinx ship to the Navy's first carrier into Tokyo Bay
"The USS Cowpens and her crew weren't your typical heroes. She was a flattop that the US Navy initially didn't want, with a captain nearly scapegoated for the loss of his last command, pilots who self-trained on the planes they would fly into combat, and sailors that had been in unifo...

| Zusammenfassung: | "The USS Cowpens and her crew weren't your typical heroes. She was a flattop that the US Navy initially didn't want, with a captain nearly scapegoated for the loss of his last command, pilots who self-trained on the planes they would fly into combat, and sailors that had been in uniform barely longer than the ship had been afloat. Despite their humble origins, Cowpens and her band of second-string reservists and citizen sailors served with distinction, fighting in nearly every major carrier operation from 1943 to 1945, including the Battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. Together they faced a deadly typhoon that brought the ship to the verge of capsizing, and at war's end there was only one US aircraft carrier in Tokyo Bay to witness the Japanese surrender-THE MIGHTY MOO. In the years to follow, Cowpens' service has become the wellspring for a remarkable modern tradition, both within the US Navy and the small Southern town that still celebrates her legacy with a festival every year. THE MIGHTY MOO is a biography of a World War II aircraft carrier as told through the voices of its heroic crew-a 'Band of Brothers at sea.'" |

She was a flattop that the US Navy initially didn't want, with a captain nearly scapegoated for the loss of his last command, pilots who self-trained on the planes they would fly into combat, and sailors that had been in uniform barely longer than the ship had been afloat. Despite their humble origins, Cowpens and her band of second-string reservists and citizen sailors served with distinction, fighting in nearly every major carrier operation from 1943 to 1945, including the Battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. Together they faced a deadly typhoon that brought the ship to the verge of capsizing, and at war's end there was only one US aircraft carrier in Tokyo Bay to witness the Japanese surrender-THE MIGHTY MOO. In the years to follow, Cowpens' service has become the wellspring for a remarkable modern tradition, both within the US Navy and the small Southern town that still celebrates her legacy with a festival every year. THE MIGHTY MOO is a biography of a World War II aircraft carrier as told through the voices of its heroic crew-a 'Band of Brothers at sea.'"
