This book that I just finished a few days ago is called, by navy men, a cruise book.  It’s like a yearbook from school but about their ship and the tour of duty that they served.  It has information about the ship, the captain, the various ports that they stopped at, and pictures of all the guys who were on the ship.  This edition that I made was from 1974-1975.

An interesting feature to this book is that I printed a picture of the ship’s home port onto the flyleaf page (11” x 17”).  Usually the flyleaf is either plain paper or special marbled paper.
