On Yankee Station, some 110 miles east of Dong Hoi, North Vietnam Latitude 17 30 North, 108 30 East 3 March, 1967 Somewhere below, in the darkness, the giant old warship thundered along, firing into the dark night its lethal payload of fighters and dive-bombers. In calm seas, it churned at more than thirty knots, making its own wind to help the flight of the planes off the twin catapults mounted on the bow. Phosphorescence glowed white in its wake. Old boilers were pushed to the maximum to drive four massive propellers. The third combat deployment of Navy Fighter Squadron VF 188 to Yankee Station and the raging airwar over North Vietnam. The young replacement pilots known as nuggets are forced to quickly adapt to flying in the most deadly anti aircraft environment ever known, as well as the deadly night carrier landing.
