All who served in the military have a story to tell. The story could be about a person, platoon, division, squadron, or ship. It could be about a war, a battle, or everyday experiences. Hard Charger is the story of a Cold War cruiser, the USS Biddle (DLG-34), the last Navy cruiser powered by conventional steam, the last of the single-ended guided missile frigates, the last ship of her class, but the first on the front lines. Biddle's story is traced from when her combat systems were conceived soon after the end of World War II and then designed and built during the 50's and 60's, to her construction, commission, shakedown, combat assignments in Vietnam, her battle at PIRAZ, overhauls, upgrades, training exercises and cruises to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean, and finally her decommissioning. The story is told by the officers and men who served aboard her - captains and deckhands, technicians and engineering officers, chiefs petty officers, plankowners and her decommissioning crew. Though Biddle is gone, her remarkable story remains, as does the freedom she helped protect. Historians, those currently involved with Navy combat systems, and those who served aboard a similar ship or during the Cold War will find Biddle's story interesting and thought provoking. Hard Charger is the only book written about Biddle or any Belknap class cruiser.Binding Type: Hardcover

Better than expectation

This is very soft and smooth to apply to my face and body. I like the smell and texture. Once I finish the bottle, I would like to re-buy.

Light, non-greasy sunscreen that actually feels good on the skin
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen has become one of my favorites for days outdoors. It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that heavy, sticky feeling some sunscreens do. The scent is light and tropical, just enough to smell like summer without being overpowering. It gives great coverage and protection without needing constant reapplication.
I like using it for beach days, walks, or even outdoor workouts since it holds up well when sweating. It feels moisturizing on the skin and hasn’t caused any irritation.
Tip: apply it a few minutes before heading outside so it has time to absorb and start protecting your skin.

Smells Amazing and Works Fabulous!
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the smell of Hawaiian Tropic sunblock. Not only does it smell delicious, it lasts better than any others I have used. I put it on and wait for at least 15 minutes before going into the sun so it can set in. When I am outside I reapply about once an hour. If I am in the water I tend to reapply at least every 45 minutes. This product does its job without being greasy or heavy.
