I'm looking for a definitive book about aircraft carriers. Something that gives me a detailed look into the various departments, amenenties, etc. FWIW, I'm writing a novel that takes place on a carrier and my Dad and I's experiences in the Navy…
"That was just one example, they came in different colors and with different styles. It may be another brand of pen that you are referring to but the Paper Mate brand had two little hearts on the pocket clip if it had a pocket clip on the pen. "

"I don't recall these being called by anything specific. I do remember that they had a embossed stamp that said "Property of U S Government". That never stopped anyone from taking home a few of these."
