One of the most decorated ships in World War II was the USS San Diego (CL-53) which earned 18 battle stars and never lost a crewmember. The performance of the ship and its crew was so exemplary that the ship was selected by the fleet command to be the first allied warship to enter Tokyo harbor at the end of the war. Military history author (and veteran) Donald Yates provides nearly 5,000 words, many photos and a color map to aid the reader of this short read.
