Description
A true story of 29 American Navy Veterans, average age 72, who embarked on a remarkable journey to restore and sail a 58-year-old WWII Landing Ship Tank back to the United States. The ship, which had played a significant role in several key battles, including the landings at Sicily, Salerno, Italy, and Normandy, France, was found in a state of disrepair in Souda Bay, Crete, Greece. The crew faced numerous challenges, including a mutiny, difficulties with registration, and skepticism from authorities. Despite the odds, they persevered, driven by their determination to bring the ship back to life. The story is told by Captain Robert Jornlin, who recounts the events as they unfolded in the winter of 2000-2001. This remarkable tale of camaraderie and determination is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the men who took on this incredible challenge.
