The histories of the flashiest units, ships, and battles are known throughout. Numerous memorials to the ships with the biggest names.
The author tells the story of the ship he was on during the war. It's not a battleship, aircraft carrier, nor a submarine. This is not a made up Hollywood ship of characters. This is a ship that worked hard throughout the South Pacific, was beat to heck, and survived the trip back to  Washington for repairs and returned to duty. This is a story of a boy that moved west, became a man, and became part of a ship that would not die.
Murphy has now outlived his ship, but he has provided a fitting memorial to, not only the Chincoteague, but the men who served on her, and the men who served on the countless ships that have never been recognized by name.
Frank tells his story in person. There is one picture of Frank as a young man and a scrawled autograph of his name... don't know if it's his autograph or not....USS Chincoteague The Ship That Wouldn't Sink by Frank D. Murphy
