About this product
Product Information
Into the thick of the choking smoke and fury came a hero with a white cross on his helmet. 'Padre' to the Catholic, 'Rabbi Joe' to the Jewish boys, Chaplain O'Callahan was 'Father' to everyone on board. Father O'Callahan tells of his own experiences, recapturing the perilous and heroic drama of the Franklin, the most damaged ship to ever reach port.

Reviews
"This is the stirring story of the ship that would not die, and of the men whose heroism unto death made it possible for the carrier U.S.S. Franklin to return under its own power after enemy bombs, the explosion of its own ammunition and searing fire had done their worst. Two thirds of its personnel lost their lives and the rest selflessly exposed themselves to unbelievable risk and danger first to save those who could be saved, and at the same time to save the ship itself. Father O'Callahan was Roman Catholic chaplain on the Franklin, and through his eyes we see these men as persons whose devotion to duty and fear and love of God made them equal to a crisis such as seldom comes to men, even in war. For his own bravery and heroism Father O'Callahan was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The reader is moved to a feeling of deep pride at this story of fellow Americans under fire. Many will wish to read it more than once. The market should go well beyond the Catholic audience." -- Kirkus "O'Callahan's inspiring account of the Franklin's travail is more than a war story. It is a powerful and unforgettable story of faith and heroism." --World of Warships?
